RE: UKNM: .TV

[Leslie Bunder]

'er Rob whadaya mean .tv is a "con".


.tv show open and honest pricing and indeed offer an open and honest

alternative for domain names....


if you don't want one, or want to use one, then don't buy one...


look at einstein.tv for the einstein channel and watch out for others that

will be using a .tv


sure it is more expensive than others, but it makes some speculators think

twice before buying to offer at a later date...


yep, bunder.tv is good for me!  just like other friends I know who have

their own name, call it sheer vanity (alright, yes it is pure vanity and

nothing else....)


But overall .tv is a growing business and one that will grow...

someone will want to buy "nbc-america.tv" off them for gazillions of

dollars.


2)  Corporations rebuying their company name in the .tv domain space to stop

someone else buying it first.


The only time I've seen it used publicly was for the Emmy awards.  And

emmys.tv just redirected to the abc.go.com site (part of the Disney empire)


The two interesting thing which the .TV registrar brought to the market were
