Ian good points about the LLL.tv. WHY do you say FARCE about the thread? I thinK the thread is going well it is thee most fact worthy and informational source on all things .tv anywhere on the net and it is only two weeks old.

First off you have to be more spot on on .tv then other exts, If you think you have to have a name that goes with the .info ext then you really have to with the .tv. Ratio for non premium names is 4 to 1 Reg fee .com $7 Reg Fee .tv $30 SO when you buy a .tv it comparable to regging 4.coms. SO if you mess up with a .tv name it would be like 4 bad .com regs. For Newbies looking at .tv and getting interested UNDERSTAND THIS be careful you will not sell a .tv to another DOMAINER in 99.9% of the time. FIRST off the % of DOMAINERS that like and or Understand .tv is far less than that of .com. Do not buy a name just because you like the sound, think it through;
1) WHAT are the uses of this name in development ?
2) WHO are the realistic possibel end users ?
3) Do I know how to contact them ?
4) You will Not be able to put up for sale in Auction and get your full money back.

Premium names now with lll.tv going to $750 they getting ridiculous. Aunty's buy of FFF mades sense just to get that $200 bargain it was a name I knew about for a ong time But have an eye On another .tv that will cost me$500 so I could not make the purchase of FFF because I did not know what I would do with it and that is the important thing like Badger said, not all lll.tv will sell PVC is a great acronym for instance with meaning but would not go with .tv there are plenty more examples. But when the LLL does go with .tv you have a home run and it is worth the investment IMO. State .tvs for example, you can get a major state like Illinois.tv for $500 so the ratio is now 71 .coms to 1 .tv you have to be right on youhave to know you can develop and sell. A lot of premium namesare in the $500 category if they were a .com they would be worth $2500 to $10,000 so If they go with the .tv ext they may be worth Buying. There are a lot of what I think are premiums that don't have premium pricing they are the real gems.
