Verisign, GreatDomains, and .tv

donlee2005 · 12-15-2005, 08:29 PM

Well we all know Verisign is running the .tv extension and that is very disheartening. As verisign has grabbed all the premium .tv keywords and are forcing you to pay $500 or more for registration fees. And now it seems that GreatDomains.com is stockpiling .tv domains. IMO I believe that Verisign who OWNS Greatdomains.com is simply putting super high prices onto the extension and then in turn getting more reg fee money from the little guys who look to greatdomains as a benchmark in appraisals and domain sales.
