The swiss will want william.tel
Racketeer capitalists will want car.tel
CIA will want In-Q.tel
The jews will want aviv.tel
The chipmaker will want in.tel.
The other chipmaker will want betterthan-in.tel, cheaperthan-in.tel and fasterthan-in.tel, etc.
In Hungary "tel" means winter so a few local ski holiday organizers will likely want to get the domain.

Same thing happens to /. when you tell someone to have a look...

Person 1: 'Go to slashdot dot org'
Person 2: 'Is that one dot or two?'
P1: 'Just one dot'
P2: 'Ok then. Wait a sec, slash dot org doesn't work...'
P1: 'No, it is slashdot dot org, not slash dot org'
P2: 'I'll try again. Nope slash dot dot org doesn't work either.'
P1: Head explodes
