Cute little country. The extension sucks for anything NOT related to Television imo though. How much $ do the people make from the ccTLD arrangement? Anyone know?

Wrong and you love .us .tv has higher reported sales than .us Travel.tv at $65,000 larger than any .us ever reported and China.tv at $100,000 Where I agree it shpould be intuitive with the extension countries,places numbers work well with the ext Six.tv makes $5 a day on average parked ata basic Fbaulous page not even targetted.

Great article. everyone should know that .tv is not for television . its for tuvalu.

Not really sure what that means, .tv is marketed as DOT TV and used as such like ELEQUA always says to me Ihe does not get that people don't understand that .tv is bascially a gtld two reasons TUVALU sinking and the most common twol leeter acronym in the world SEEMS obvious to me but for the .commies and the others I guess go reg I tookitinthepoopshute.com

AND lastly no offense but I don't know what was INTERESTING about that article "the phones are down" INTERESTING. WAIT I think someone farted more interesting

I do have to agree with that. As a TLD, it really has evolved past its original geographical assignment. To say that DotTV has anything to do with Tuvalu anymore is like saying the main purpose of the Internet is for government computers to communicate.

For an island with barely 12,000 people that is expected to be non-existant within a generation, there's little reason to hang onto .TV as a country code for Tuvalu anymore. Tuvalu themselves sold their rights in the extension so it could be used as the "TV" extension.

Here's another short article,

I agree. I surely wasn't saying the .tv stands mainly for Tuvalu, just sharing a 30 second read.

Really, well sorry to waste your time.

NO waste MTOM just kidding around. I just love the whole tuvalu its not television from those who dislike the ext.

From what i read there is a base plus a commission, % of sales. However, Tuvalo has only been paid the base amount and they want to see the books to determine if a % of sales is due... they think it is and have threatened to sue to find out. Verisign will not show them the books and I do not think they have ever published just what the base/guarentee payment is.

".TV" means "Television", of course ... while watching it on vacation in the teeny isle of Tuvalu!

Just kidding, I'm actually warming a tad (must be the copious flow of eggnog into my blood stream) to the idea of SUPER COOL developed ".TV" sites, IMHO. :red:
Happy Holidays! :santa:
