Fin,
you've had too much green beer today.
i'm at least as driung as u my good irie frend. the auction may start in 2 weeks but the big news is in 2 days.
Makis I was not talking to you when I said Mike, I was talking to Hull, I know your name. I was not on all day, but Mark Klein left a comment on my blog. I see Snoop posted it, so at least we know under $5000 reserve.
no one can have too much beer today!
Hmm, the rumors are flying...
Personally I feel some people are listening, people are changing their ways with these names. "Realization" is setting in.
With reserves below $5k, if the domains don't get major final sale prices, this could also be the end of .tv
Sorry to be playing devil's advocate here.
Does this mean Verisign will remove all premium renewals from existing domains too eventually? Or is that too far reaching a conclusion?
Especially so, if a domain which had an annual renewal of $50k only gets a $10k bid with standard renewal, how exactly is that a good thing.How so? Even if a great keyword goes for only $10K?
We won't have to hear a buyer say to us, the premium renewal is too high because those days are over!!!

If they dont then there will still remain the cloud of confusion that's plauged .tv for a decade.
If they want to hand the loyal buyers a bone they could just say all premium fees off effective immediately. More likely is that they make us pay one more year and then it drops, just as if we were brand new buyers - and I have no problem with that. What would suck nutz is if they do nothing. Obviously they are under no legal obligation to do so but as a practical matter it would certainly undermine their efforts to reinvigorate the market for .tv.
Im very curious about the remaining premiums, I mean, were there not thousands of premium reserved domains?
These are obviously chosen for their quality and lack of TM association.
My questions:
What will they do with the remaining Premium renewal domains, are they going to release them into the wild, no premium renewal, would it be at a specific date and time? If so, that would be quite an event. If it were to happen, I would imagine it would follow the conclusion of the sedo auction. I remember when they released the NFL teams all at once, one minute they were premium, the next they were available to register at godaddy for standard renewal.
What happens to existing premium holders? Seems rather silly to charge top dollar for mid-high range domains when the cream of the crop is all standard renewal.
Maybe all this has been covered in this extensive thread, but I didnt want to read all the other bs to get to the issue.
While you were sleeping at the wheel... actually... while you were giving out advice AGAINST .TV premiums, telling people they are WORTHLESS... FS, NC, PH and some other high profile, recognized leaders who are both domainers & developers, did the exact opposite thing you advised & seized the day... battling with each other, deep into midnight...
What the heck are you talking about? Is this more "under the radar-stealth mode" commentry?
Marlowe the nfl just dropped those names some got premium and still are, others were non premium.
Two different things happened, someone like Discover Now and Frank Schilling they paid premiums last night. Today there was a glitch that let a premium .tv be regged at another registrar for $25. No one knows if they will keep those .tv.
There is talk current premium holders will get a buyout or maybe go straight to non premium renewal.
From an equitable perspective, I just don't see how existing premium holders should continue paying anything more. If their renwal is the 21st, it should be reg fee, if its in six months - same thing.
Only a few players took on real risk in the extension, buying premiums in a DEAD market. I believe them to be Fin, Mr Rhee, Jim,Jimbo, . and a few other players. They should be rewarded for the risk they took on, not penalized with heavyweight premium renewals.

Then there is the sliding scale, if business.tv = $10k, whatchamacallit.tv isn't even worth reg fee is it?
Again, this is all hypothetical, removal of premium renewals should help... at least in principle. Reality might be just the opposite.
