| Imho, the main reason why .tv could (and will) imho take over from .com is because in ten years, the internet will be not like as we know it today.. Ok its big now but imagine doing everything online. And 90% of your day to day activities online. Im not talking of sitting in front of a keyboard / monitor and searching through internet search engines. Mobile internet will become an invaluable and essential tool for 90% of daily communication.
Same with television/entertainment etc. Goodbye satellite TV, hello individual TV stations and large organisations streaming their own opt-in broadcasts. Which i know happens already but not to the extent its going to... [opt-in and optin.tv taken btw]
When i left school in (well sometime in the mid 1980's) we played on BBC Micro B computers, non networked and most scripts running on BASIC. And you can still see today old versions of shows like LA Law and i laugh to myself when there are no computers or terminals on their desks and there are people doing masses of paperwork...
Well, this is my point. Ive done very well in computing and domaining for a number of years now and my speciality is recognising and doing the next big thing. Like entering a room at a party and finding only a few people at the buffet, only for it to slowly become packed 10 minutes later. The empty room feeling is how i currently feel about .tv domains.
I disagree that the extension fits other avenues, well i disagree to the extent that "yeah they are ok but.....", but there are better examples still available for your $28.
The only problem i can forsee for us .TV domainers is 'yes' were all pretty smug right now, taking off the cream in perfect names that fit the extension, but i have this terrible feeling that once "our room" [see above] becomes pretty full, some new and emerging technology will take over and marry itself to the .tv extension thus leaving our names useless.
And while everyone in the .tv room was busy grabbing names in a new bun fight i will be at the buffet offering the sandwiches i stashed away an hour earlier when everyone else now wants sweet.
