I can afford the premiums. I can afford the renewals. I can afford to look in the sea for other fish.
Not getting a straight answer is something NONE of us can afford.
How can they not know at this point?
Why was a decision of this magnitude not made BEFORE launch?
Once again, I know they need to worry about what is best for the TLD, but let me tell you, as a consumer of their product/service... a possible "bait & switch" is unhealthy for any company. I am behind .TV 100%, my money and development team can attest to that, but it breeds mistrust and doubt not knowing what they are going to be charging me a year from now... I'd like to begin development, but what's to stop them from saying: "we want your domain, so we're charging you 500% to renew it..."?
More & more, I think that .MOBI's rollout was well orchestrated and a model for other TLDs to follow... only about 5000 premiums, not 50,000+ premiums... and at least my .MOBI renewals are only $10-$15 a year MAX...
not: "maybe 10%-15% +/- registration or something else entirely... we'll let you know later."
I believe everyone in this forum would like a straight, professional, definite "answer" so we can be prepared. anyone that doesn't care what the renewal price is fooling themselves... can you imagine if .COM worked that way? everyone would be ready to fight, true?
anywho... back to the .TV mines... there's still gold in there.
All I want is a straight answer and I will call them everyday until I get one.
At this point in time, I can't even get the SAME answer from them.
