| Renewals do not go up and this is a topic that has been addressed several times, Guess what the standard price for LLL.tv is now $750 but names that were registered at $250 and $500 are still renewed at that price.
Secondly Millers is 100 % right KIDS.tv in the HRTS auction went for $10,,100 Kids.com is a minimum $500,000 IMO. and the beauty of that auction is its $50 to renew afterward that was a special auction perk.
Thirdly you can negotiate prices and it seems they are becoming even more open to bigger discounts.
The main guy at .tv Scott Higgason Left so it will be interesting to see what they do next.
Paying a premium sucks but if you have a real idea it is actually a benefit because the premium name in .com would cost 10 to 100 times more. Some of the prices you see are just there for show no one pays them when FIT.tv dropped they put it at $1500 I told a member here about it he got it for much less per year.
Plus there are many names not categorized as premium I regged Everything.tv for $30 What would everything.com cost $50,000 -$100,000?
The benefit is the intuitive nature of the ext and that there are plenty of premium domains still available for A serious entrepreneur. .tv is Not a domainer ext Verisign has always stated that in every conversation I have had with them about .tv . They were like we know if we went to $30 for LLL.tv they would all be regged by domainers we don't want that.
I agree Silicon more sites will separate their Corporate site/ecom and their Entertainment /Multimedia Scripps has owned and run hgtv.com for a long time they just regged HG.tv at $1000 a year and a lot of LL.tv are priced at $10,000 I think that a little high but companies will pay that. $1000 is a lot for a hobbyist not a company doing anything over $500,000 IMO
On the flip side I think surfers will look for more out of a .tv site. I mean design and content wise so you have to put some effort into it if you develop a .tv need to make it multimedia and fast too I do not think the surfer will tolerate slow running multimedia sites that take forever to show clips or other entertainment.
