.tv .Tv - It's coming

[domainacrobat]

Day in and day out I see turmoil and posts about the bleak future of .TV... Most seem to attribute .TV as a failure due to dismal personal sales.

Well that is not a way to guage .Tv IMO.

others say its how many endusers are using .TV... Over the last few weeks I have become cemented in my opinion that they will become invaluable commodities. I recently sold raceboat.tv, probably for far too cheap. I saw the transfer request and I sold it to a RACE BOAT driver. This is not what really opened my eyes.

Yesterday I was doing a photo shoot. My client brought along a personal friend whom was helping to style the shoot. It turned out that she was a TV producer. I asked her more questions and she continued to explain that she was producing an online Television show for an online Network launching very soon. Hmmm I thought, so I asked the name;

www.PacificNetwork.tv :D

Everything we always talk about here at the .TV forum materializing in front of my eyes. At first I thought she was pulling my leg. I am going to approach them about programming, I have several videographer/editor friends that I am going to pull together and see if we can come up with a format for a show and pitch it to them.

I will become the enduser!

You are making a statement that appears to be wrong, then suggest people shouldn't be commenting and suggest people "stick to the topic" when you get pulled up on it. If you don't want others opinion then don't give your own.

Snoop your out of line, this post was started by Domain Acrobat to report on a website/company that is using the .tv extension, and it is something that Marlow had first hand knowledge on.

Snoop your trolling in here as usual.

Just seen the site and really felt the need to start calling myself Jimbo 'Kimolamekeke' Jimbo - fab!!!

By the way I found my Hawaiian name (yes I did check) at

http://www.hisurf.com/hawaiian/names.html

I don't care if its made up.

One question: How does the site make money? Is it funded by local government, grants?

From what I understand its private ownership. If there was some government funding, it would be very little I imagine. I think they have connections to local television programming and they can attract advertisers.

I am having a meeting in about a week and will know more then!

Will keep everyone updated.

I had another meeting with my friend and she shed a little light about the site www.pacificnetwork.tv


It is funded by Time Warner Telecom. It is part of an experimental project to help bridge the gap between Television and Internet and work on and develop usable revenue streams. From what she said they targeted Hawaii becasue the demographics show a large percentage of Hawaii has internet access in comparison to its population. Wether this is true or not I dont know. Currently there is no revenue stream as it is in Beta. I was speaking with her about it and the person whom oversees everything seems as though they are working on many projects at once so the progress is slower than expected. I suggested at minimum using a hybrid revenue system selling adspace and 15 second timeslots before each video is played. I will post more when I know more.

What will really help make this medium scaleable is video affiliates. Figuring out a way to PAY THE FOLKS WHO CREATE THE VIDEOS that get passed around is still a huge challenge. But I expect this will be figured out soon enough and an explosion will occur.

There are a few video sites that have a 'pay the creator' business model.
