.tv This is interesting..or is it confusing??

This is interesting...Whilst perusing the available premiums I found that Rundfunk.tv (German for radio) is a $50,000/yr premium! On the other hand Radio.tv is $10,000/yr. Why on earth would the German version be 5x more expensive???

I wouldnt read too much into it, premium prices are all over the place and this is just another example. There seem to be no pattern to DM's pricing structure with many names having rediculous prices attached that will mean they never get sold.

just because the germans like their internet i think .... but yes crazy

Just contacted Jason at DM he says

"the registry sets the prices, not us"

DM are just exclusive marketers for the premiums, its definitely a Verisign mess that DM has no control over.

Perhaps it's because the Germans are more domain-savvy. Nonetheless the .tv pricing structure is rubbish.

 

[SKG]

Domain Value=((Number of letters)x(Number of households with TV))/((3.14)x(Number of Britney Spears sitings))

It is a complicated formula, but I think I got it worked out. Since there were fewer Britney sightings in Germany the domain is more expensive.

Lol...I forgot about the Britney factor!

Try this:

Ask Jason if ENOM/Demand or any of their subsidiaries put ANY markup on the premiums or if the prices are EXACTLY set by Verisign.

Ask him to put it in writing.

excellent point Bulldog,
though I'm sure you can contact him yourself you dont need me or anyone else to ask on your behalf!

 

[TheBulldog]

No clue who he even is.

I am fairly certain that the answer is obvious.

:bingo:

It is always the old " Verisign set the pricing " statement, yet we have all witnessed premiums going up by the minute prior to May1 st, and we all know that deals are done regulary on premium names.
