.tv Another open letter to Verisign/Demand Media

[equity78]

Dear Verisign/Demand Media,
Stop embarrassing the extension and learn that words have meaning. Take the word Premium.

Defined as: of exceptional quality or greater value than others of its kind; superior: a wine made of premium grapes.

1l6.tv is not a premium name (nor are the thousands of other 3 character nonsense you have priced as a premium domain) so you embarrass the extension with this idiotic pricing. An interested customer comes to ENOM CENTRAL and sees NPR.tv $250, 1l6.tv $300.

For those people that have been members of the Namepros.com .tv subforum they have benefitted from the knowledge of all the little nuances of the .tv extension. Verisign screwing up and mis pricing some quality names while taking back domains (PETS.tv) that should not have shown available. But the average person, the person you are looking to become a customer does not belong here so they do not have the info and they are lost and they are also confused.

Secondly, find a way to get a premium link on other registrars sites, I talked to a guy who went with the *****TV.tv because when he went to GO DADDY *****.tv showed unavailable. I told him it would have cost him $500 a year and was regged yesterday two months after he registered *******TV.tv. He said I would have paid $500 the .com would cost me xxx,xxx I did not know how to register it.

Average people, Corporate people go to GoDaddy, Network Solutions Register.com not ENOM CENTRAL.

Maybe if cities new how to register their town or city in .tv years ago instead of it showing unavailable they would have registered them.

Do you know how much you are hurting your own business and the extension?

Again words have meaning surely there must be one Thesaurus in Verisign or Demand Media.

you sound upset Eq.

i am very frustrated as well but too scared to say anything for fear of retribution enom is a confused/frustrating organzation :imho: some email customer service people are good, just never try to call enoms customer help line! 20-30min international waits. :td:

i hope they help their "bread and butter" customers better

. Verisign screwing up and mis pricing some quality names while taking back domains (PETS.tv) that should not have shown available.

Well said EQ,

Most of their decisions seem to have been made in a hurry and it is starting to look amateurish.
Want to clarify that I think this more Verisign than Demand Media, IMO

Thanks EQ, all great ideas. I hope they see all your efforts for the extension and take a serious look at implementing your helpful and well-meaning suggestions.

I am not upset at all Deb I am stating facts. I came to .tv with $100

Regged LCD for $30 sold for $4200 Regged Six.tv for $500 sold for $25,000 I have already validated everything personally with .tv that I ever wanted to validate.

I am not name calling or upset I stated facts that are 100 % true, Words have meaning and nothing about 1L6.tv is premium using the definition that educated people around the world use for the word Premium.

Trust me Deb there would be no retribution the only thing they could do is raise fees on your domains to premiums while you still had them regged and how would Quinn Daly look then after she told James 5 different times in the interview that would not happen. Secondly I pointed out to them how they are losing money, I was not going to reg the domain the guy I know did they lost out on a registration and by consumers being confused they lose out on a lot of sales IMO
