Hi Guys,

Been awhile.. but I was wondering what your guys take is on the new domain space that was approved yesterday for major brands to secure their own extension... and whether you think .TV will fair any better, worse, or not difference in the face of the new changes.

Cheers.

New TLD's won't have any influence on .tv IMO

They won't have any influence at all (maybe .xxx or .gay become popular).

.com, .org would be stronger. ccTLD's would become even more powerful.

Maybe some negative influence on .net or .info (but not sure - saying it because of my personal preferences).

If it's taken by coke, canon etc then it makes little to no difference to anyone.

If it's taken by clever people with significant cloud they could destroy certain niche markets. I would be worried as a GEO owner - but then .travel has been a "failure" so I could also be complacent. .Travel failed because it didn't tap the right market.

However, I believe the real money to be made is through the innovation of new niche markets and most notably through the wielding of power. I have some doubts as this was attempted by .mobi; however, there's an opportunity for innovative thinkers who aren't reading and writing on forums.

As an example:
I would expect an opportunity for Association of Realtors sign up a new TLD and really use it to control its membership, for example. They could finance through fees and it would be a benefit that their members could reserve GEO.Realtor type names. There is, however, a conflict with the Real Estate companies that impedes this.

Every action has an opposite reaction. Every force has an opposite force.

When someone figures how to create the positive imbalance they will find themselves very successful. The key to the future is segregration and control - we'll see how it happens but it will happen.

I doubt it will have much influence on the general internet and the common TLDs for about 5 years. Things are happening both slower and faster than I expected. It's strange times.

I have a different opinion, new gtld's will make average internet users look further than .com and .com and .com and .com(u get the idea).
People will start seeing the url like spoken language, eat.me, drink.cocacola, open.tv, visit.athens and so on.
This will have a positive impact on .tv's(and .info) for people that come from the US that are totally ignorant in every tld or cctld that is not .com.

Because more money will be spent marketing a 'new web world' of extensions, by the combined efforts of big monied new gTLD sponsors, than on the cost of the new extensions themselves, .TV will likely benefit more than any other existing extension, as T V are the most recognized letters, and the most popular medium, in the world.

In a world with .coke, .sports. .anything, most people will assume there is a .TV.

I expect .TV will get the most 'trust traffic' from people now educated to type-in extensions, in addition to keywords.

Most interesting, dotTV Contract Renewal coincides with the launch of new gTLDs.

It is also the timeframe of global TV Cloud Convergence onto the market.

This environment provides a 'Perfect Storm' opportunity to attract the deepest media pockets to the .TV table, ink a long term contract, and re-relaunch dotTV as 'the new extension to watch'.

(Now if the new operator could turn dotTV into an "icloud" for TV content, distributing content on 'show & sell' themed channels -and paying affilliate domainers in the process... that would be a sweet 'turn-key franchise' extension).

Smiler

I've read the article on this but I still think that .com .net .org will always be the most popular and well known throughout the world.

True Story:
It will only help the Dot TV extension because you could add any word or acronym you want to the hundreds of tld's that already exist but nothing in the World will ever compare to the brandable, visionary and just downright F-ing Cool and Sweet Sounds of Dot TV.

There's already a defined "language" for the internet. It's called GET PUT POST DELETE on a resource. I see more transition to resource than to natural language.

But just because they exist doesn't mean they get used. The usage is also very restrictive and limited - shrinking the pool of useful names (which will likely be controlled).

When was the last time you visited Coke.com would people even know there was a .coke? Why would they go there? rewards.coke, I suppose.

But these sites have limited commercial appeal. That is, limited to the brand at hand. I don't think I've EVER been to coke.com so a lot of these TLD are not really designed for end user / viewer appeal imho

One of the selling points of .TV is "video centric" and not "television centric". Wouldn't someone owning .video get more interest from video sites?

What about .studio? .shop? .pr? or any other collection? .tv might work for just Television companies. This could certainly shrink the pool of usefulness.

I don't think this is the case but the argument that TV means something and can be used as thisunfortunately then limits things to what TV means !

Lets hope that they don't see $$$$$$. .TV is just getting to a better place. They could just easily kill .TV as re-affirm its value.

Would be nice for some of the better .TV portfolio holders (not me)

It's this kind of thinking that I'm talking about and will ultimately make a few people rich. I'm glad you see this too.. would render TVCloud.com somewhat useless though, maybe

.TV is too far gone for that concept, however. This might be what .MEDIA could do? Killing .TV?

It will be the controlled turnkey cloud vs the freedom of the open internet.

This battle will be fought by all TLDs. Personally, there is space and room for both but there will be huge battles for control. It will start with business but govts can't stay out of this crap.

Tell it like it is V. I can always rely on you to be excited and downright forcefully pro-TV. I hope it continues to serve you well.

I do solemnly believe that .TV is a great extension. I think .TV will actually change meaning from Television and become synonymous with media packets/delivery. I think the concept of "channels" will go away and be replaced by packets of content: channels within channels - or bursts of TV content.

I like Burst.TV. I would trade many of my names for that one (if Fred is around).. same for Markhers Tip.TV .. lol

Not sure that makes sense but I'm too lazy to expand it out too much more. I'm all style over substance anyway.. choke the eye with bluster and drivel!

Burst sounds kinda dirty.

Only two will not be affected .TV because it stands for television and
.TEL because it stands for telephone

tj1897

No doubt .com is the blonde bombshell belle of the ball but .tv is her alright looking exotic friend & for some exotica is the only thing that floats their boat.

Now let in a horde of uglies & misfits to the ball and the 'exotic' will become a lot more eyecatching amongst *All* punters without a dance partner (those not woith blondebomb.com) by virtue of being better looking *relative* to the uglies....

So goes the dummies theory of chocolate box relativity ;-)

P.s i know i gotta change my avatar : making it to a game7 in the stanley cup final is relatively shite if you come out 2nd in the tussle.

hullswingerscom

I think it's good news for .tv and . Tel

Caspir

Ya really its good one.

as the owner of blonde.tv i like your analogy!

Im glad they sell real.coke here and dont have to hunt around usa for the mexican stuff in the glass bottle (they sell big ones in winco ) I know that one heh
New tld's TOTALLY ROCK, I hope they take off wildly. I hope we are in the last days of the one sided somewhat monochromatic url conventions which generally incorporates some meaningless string like .net or .org (keyword.org non-profit? yeah right) .
rewards.coke refills.canon london.hotel <<this is a far more human friendly internet imo. Ive always been a fan of domain-hack type names, and these new tld's will have the potential to hugely increase the usability of the internet. Obviously its gonna take some building out, and I recognise there will be collateral damage, and it will probably be full of redirects for many years. The future is a whole long time tho eh

I think nothing special will happen because the the .tv domain is branded in the brain of the regular users. So many companies will just use .tv so that the customers are not confused.
