.tv Make sure you have you're top .tv covered

With the *****TV.com. For domains you are going to develop and put some money into make sure you spend the extra $7. Whether we think someone should use the .tv ext people still type in the *****tv.com UFCtv.com at one time had an ovt with ext of like 1200 UFC.tv did not own it.

So make sure you own both

A) retain all traffic
B) No one can benefit for free off your work
C) An interested buyer cannot balk at your asking price and say I will go reg the *****tv.com instead of buying your .tv domain.

Definitely sound investment advice equity. I own Chopper.TV, which is a good thing, but don't own the ChopperTV.com name. That was actually reg'd first by someone else. They apparently didn't think much about the .TV name when they reg'd the .com version.

I could try to make an offer on the name, but my guess is they are holding it as an investment. Any price inquires right now would probably be met with a high offer price.... So at this point I'm going to wait them out. The name expires in 3/07.

Hopefully in the future when it comes to typing in names on your IP TV you'll think of the .TV as the "logical" destination point. With as many .TV names being advertised on .TV it's just a matter of time.

Elequa then bought the lot.... But he was gracious enough to send me all his NP$
