Domain. TV disappears possible

05-03-2009, 01:57 PM

Shit tonight i registered DirectChat.TV to develop a new live cam platform and really 10 minutes after registering this domain I read this news article.

This sucks ...

Google translation:

Domain. TV disappears possible

AMSTERDAM - Anyone who has an Internet domain that ends in. Tv would claim, would even have to think twice. It is possible that over some time completely disappears.

The. Tv domain type belongs to the small island of Tuvalu which is in the Pacific Ocean area. The island rents for years to companies like domains. Tv behind their Internet addresses already. That is especially popular among providers of cable services in or video websites.

Now is where the island are in the sink and in the foreseeable future completely under the waves will disappear. That means, according to ICANN that the domain administrator. Tv output go away. Internet Address Letter GoDaddy.com warns its customers that the island might not live long beschoren is.

Such a vessel, it will not run, because undoubtedly get website administrators enough time to switch. There are now even. Su domains it, 'su' for Soviet Union ...
Everyone still Tuvalu again want to see can see on Google Maps.

Under new ICANN rules, very soon every company meeting the technical and financial conditions, will be able to run their own domain registry.

That could mean, that the current .TV registry operators, should be able to run their registry in future, even if the Tuvalu Islands don't exist anymore.

I don't use ICQ anymore.

If the country disappears off the face of the planet then .TV isn't a country TLD anymore now is it?

damn I have a good one WetPorn [dot] .tv and some others, but I am selling or not renewing the rest I own.

All these country codes, .info, etc. just waters down the whole domain market. Plus it cost trademark holders more money since your trying to protect your brand.

People, .TV wont disappear.

IF the island sinks, (which it wont) the owners of dot .tv and verisign will come up with something cause they make helluva lot of cash on the extension, they wont let it slip into the ocean, they will have it secured up on deck with some naked navy marine guys holdin it tight.
And thats a fact!

And if the island sink they will run the extension as a .TV as in just for TV. And thats even better for domainers webmasters etc. Its not so good for the islanders doe... but it wont sink. This rising of the sea stuff is just propaganda, top oceanologist has said its a scam. The ones who did the "official" reports speak the "$" language.

The sea never rises? Sorry hate to tell you but the seas have been both higher and lower than what they are now in the past.

There was some former oil rig, now just a big steel platform in the ocean, that somebody was trying to sell as a "country" sometime back. Dunno whatever happened to it. Pirate Bay was talking about trying to raise the funds to buy it.

.tv would become a gTLD if Tuvalu disappeared. If ICANN even hinted at pulling it, the backlash would be HUGE, primarily from people that paid big bucks for premium .tv domains and owners of prominent sites on .tv domains like justin.tv and ustream.tv - there's no f'in way they'd pull it.

sea level fluctuations are real and have existed for as long as the earth has been covered in water and have been rising for as long as we have been recording data

From the site:

"Tuvalu's sinking, but its domain is on solid ground
...
...
Now, that brings up a question: What happens to a domain if a nation disappears?

VeriSign spokesman Tom Galvin tells me that a defunct country's Internet domain lives on. For instance, you can still find addresses on .su ? the domain for the Soviet Union."
