.tv Regged another premium @ $225 ,plus weirdness

[Dillpup]

I picked up JEO . TV today with the 70% discount.Not because it means anything, but because it's got a monster 1078 OVT with Extension. Likely typos from GEO . TV.
I almost didn't check availability on it because when I typed it in the address bar,it was resolving to a PPC parked page. (Same thing happened on my other recent reg, MTC . TV). It's as if someone at .TV is parking the high traffic names for revenue until someone realizes they're available and reg's them..
Makes me wonder what else is resolving - yet actually available.

DOT TV openly parks their premiums they own the registry and they can do whatever they like

I guess,sure.Not a great business decision though if it's actual registrations they're looking for. Maybe they're not...JEO didn't even have a "this domain may be for sale" area on it,it was just a 100% optmized PPC page before I regged it.
Who knows how many people are typing premiums into the bar to see if it's "taken" or not, and then leave once they see it's resolves to a parked PPC page.I wonder if they're losing more than they're making by doing this?
Well,not my problem..time to collect some PPC

They have been doing it for a long time Dill with different programs different deals placement on a registrars drop down of ext ( ENOM) What people have to understand is .tv is such a small part of Verisign they do not share our concerns about .tv marketing and promotion wise

On another note if you think about it DILL with that ovt with ext you should make a lot more than the $225 you spent so maybe their model should be about ppc, I regged SIX.tv for $500 ayear it has made triple that a year so maybe DOT TV in the wrong business if their business is regs. Just another point of view
