"Someone's buying dotTV domain names... I saw a few go by this afternoon for $600 a pop... I believe one of them was boost.tv obviously someone was willing to pay their price. I've bought several that I plan to use for broadcasting purposes and I don't feel scammed at all... however it still boggles my mind, that if speculators are tuning into dotTV, why are they registering SO MUCH crap. There are some great keywords + other combos left but people are still registering some really cryptic dotTVs... so perhaps it's not speculators, but businesses that intend to use the domains or protect their assets... either way, if someone overpays for crap...they are only scamming themselves..."

"Idealab owning all the .tv variations of their domains, that's not true.... in fact, they are selling many of them for $600, $300, $50, If they don't believe in dotTV, why should anyone else. And if their affilaite NSI writes and tells me I need a .TV for protection when its partner doesn't even protect itself, what does that say. I think these domain registrars are con artists. When Great Domains opened they had big names, big prices and big stories and those are still the only dozen big stories they tell. But 99.997% of the Great Domains inventory hasn't moved in a year! DotTV is blowing alot of smoke too."

Owen, could you elaborate what you're trying to say : I'm such a dumb to digest your hints.
Thanks. Mano

These are comments selected from a domain discussion group similar to NamePros. This is what they were saying about .TV names 11 years ago. I always like to look to history as a benchmark of where we are today.
You look to history as a benchmark?
Perhaps you could comment then?
Who said this? When? Why? and how is this relevant today?
Otherwise it's just a crappy repost of an old post. No?
