“I’ve already been offered $100 million just to sell the domain name,” said Mr Hasan. “So straight away, I already know that if groups are offering that much for a domain name, we’re a billion-dollar company.”

comment in The National
03 July 2008

I own US.TV - does this mean I am the owner of a trillion dollar company?

If so, get your coats, we're all going on holiday to discuss what to do next. And don't worry, the drinks are on me!


I love Sheeraz - he's a top guy - and ALL the best to him.He's making .Tv what it should be and IS becoming - we've just got to stop smirking and catch him up.

That was JUST the offer.

The company is worth ten times as much.

Great .TV domain + 100 million dream offer + Lots of hype = a billion-dollar company.

$100 mil just for domain name?
So, dubai.tv is better than almost all other top premium domains?
Mortgage.com
Sex.com
Business.com as well since it's business sold as whole.

Hollywood.TV is actually a $750 premium.

So it's a bit less cheap than dirt lol, but still a reasonable premium for a fantastic domain.

dirt cheap ... it fits the extension perfectly.

Mir most be jealous on traffic being built and .tv

Then he asks what the point. Hmm, this is America my friend and we get to say what we want. 1. Freedom of speech
2. Namepros.com is a forum for discussion last time I checked??

The list goes on and on.

Anyways... Its great dubai is building up. Dubai is a hot spot and one of the best places in the world.

Here's another Sheeraz hit built on channelme http://www.LA.TV


Amazing what 1 person can do in so little time using the right vehicle .TV

He makes it look easy, Hollywood.TV or Dubai.TV in other hands I don't think

would have done as well. His timing was perfect for each project.

Truer words were never spoken re to this situation.

Instead of mocking his success, we should quit sitting on our collective thumbs and start hyping the extension we love so much and devote so much time to.

My kudos to Sheraz in his efforts to be successful as it injects the .tv extension with publicity on a daily basis. All the best to the gentleman!

I would not say what he has done with Dubai.tv or LA.tv is amazing, using ChannelMe we can all have identical sites to his in a couple of hours.
Why he is using ChannelMe i have no idea, i won't go over all this again as we have all wondered why so many times.

Business & Marketing wise then this man is brilliant, he has done great to get Hollywood.tv in the papers & on TV daily through is Paparazzi business but what he is doing with some of his .Tv's is a poor choice.

I'm sure he will be rewarded well when he no doubt sell's of these Geo .tv's that he has sitting on ChannelMe but i'm 99% certain he wont be selling any of them for $100 Million or whatever crazy fee he tells the media they are worth today.

the difference with la.tv - hollywood.tv etc, is that even though he is using trhe channel me platform, it is customised for him.

i would love to put the blog at the top of the page like he does, but when i emailed demand media about this, they said it is not something they do as standard.

In my opinion they dropped the ball by not continuing to develop the platform ...

somebody should shoot Richard Rosenblatt an email or maybe we can

get a petition going
