Apparently, pasting this code and publishing it is required to get the ball rolling

When you purchased your .tv name it was not worth any more than you paid. After all, what something is worth is what someone is willing to pay, nothing more, nothing less.

Now that YouTube transformed the way we view online video and the cost of bandwidth and site development has come down, it is more than likely your .tv names have increased in inherent value. As more and more companies release streaming video sites on the Internet and on .tv, you can expect to receive more and more inquiries about your domain.

Perhaps you already know the price you are willing to accept or you know you want something above a minimum price. Regardless, you probably invested in the .tv market for either speculation or development. The longer you can pay your registration fees and hold the domain, the more it will be worth in the future (assuming the trend continues). Finding the optimal time to sell if you are a speculator, or develop if you are a developer, will depend on how much money you have, how much time you are willing to wait, and what your short term and long term plans are.

I only bring this up because of a recent conversation I had with another .tv developer.

We felt that .tv is now entering, if it is not already in, the second stage of its growth cycle.

The indications are all around us, but we may not realize it until we step away from the activity over the last six months and look closely at what has happened.

YouTube in a matter of two years delivered an average of 1 million streams a day before Google purchased the site.

YouTube is not the only place one can visit to find a library of user created content, but the transaction is a barometer of things to come.
