It is safe to say that the renewal fee will be the same as the purchase price?

I think they know they cannot beat BrightCove I think the tools are to give 19 year old Britney a way to make Britneys.tv not power Education.tv

I see your point.

I believe they will be what you after the r=

go to enom.tv put in xn8.tv r=$300

I believe your right I went to go check some names and sure enough each one's does have a different number attached to the r=

I hope not.

Business.tv seems to be going for mid 6-figure.
Imagine trying to renew that unless you had something big going on.

Absolutely correct. These tools are nothing more than myspace for .TV

These tools being launched. Will they be something that a person with NO PROGRAMMING experience will be able to kick off easily in creating the site?

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts or any other resources.

Other questions include
1) Will we need to find a host to use these tools
2) Will they provide the bandwidth and space as well?

If I had to guess......the tools will be mainly desktop tools to create, edit videos, sounds, whatever. And then templates for a website, with a heavy push towards using demand media of some kind hosting as "media friendly".

I am willing to bet that in addition to above, a lot of us will say "huh, I was expecting more" when all this rolls out. not that I won't try out whatever they supply, I just think it will be geared more toward template sites with not much individuality.

These are the same questions I asked months ago and never heard anything back from anyone on this, which is why I began plowing ahead forward on site development.

However I very much await the tools...

you put a domain in see if available then look at the address bar


http://www.enom.tv/tv_cc/premium.asp?domain=xn8&r=300

Equity,

I have just seen one name where I know for a fact that the price in the address bar is incorrect - it is showing as $500, but it definately will not be sold for less than $1000 according to an email from Enom received yesterday.....

This whole reserve/BIN story may have thrown the menu bar pricing out the window........
