I wonder if that's who organofcorti identifies as 'dot pool' - seems to match with the disappearance of the generation addresses as 'unknowns' in his history.
They have a mining web interface up, but it's private - of course: http://66.194.38.250:8081/

I noticed Telco214 for the first time today when I saw they mined a block when I happened to on BTC.com's Block Explorer, so I googled the name and was lead here. I realize it's been a while since the last reply, so I don't know how well him/her/them were doing when this thread was created. First, I went to their website to find out it was a private connection & you are required to login with a username and password (Telco214 website (http://www.telco214.com/login.php) when clicking URL in Block Explorer): http://www.telco214.com/login.php (http://www.telco214.com/login.php)

Anyway, it seems as if they do very well and have mined 38 Blocks in the last month since time of this post, making him/her/them the 15th largest BTC Mining "Pool" as can be seen HERE (https://btc.com/stats/pool?pool_mode=month) on BTC.com Block Explorer (https://btc.com/stats/pool?pool_mode=month (https://btc.com/stats/pool?pool_mode=month))

Does anyone know anything more about who this person(s) are? According to the Bitcoin Wiki (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Telco_214), Telco214 is "the alias of a modern solo miner.", although other records indicate it is a telecommunications company (http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=4803738)..

Their name came up in the "largest Bitcoin farms" thread a while back.
