If the economy is, geo dot tv domains will not cool down any time soon as evidenced by the sale of Seoul.tv for $5,000.

Obviously, geos or geography related domains offer an incredible number of potential revenue streams.  What isn’t so clear are the costs to procure those revenue streams.  I know a number of people that are focused on developing geos and hope to learn more about establishing a geo domain first hand.  I will let you know more info when I receive it.

The following domain names are up for auction at Sedo.com.  Each name is followed by the amount bid (converted to US dollars if the native currency is not USD), the number of bids, the time remaining in the auction, whether the reserve has been met, and any unique hits if specified by Sedo.  All auctions still have two or more days remaining before they close:

cash.tv--------$7,365--1--2d 45m------(reserve met)
british.tv------$1,378--11-2d 22h 42m-(reserve NOT met)--219 unique visitors per month
webb.tv-------$125----1--3d 5h 42m---(reserve met)--55 unique visitors per month
fantasias.tv---$1,378--1--4d 11h 1m---(reserve met)--515 unique visitors a month
erection.tv----$2,000--1--5d 5h 28m---(reserve met)
oral.tv---------$2,750--1--5d 5h 42m---(reserve met)

First and foremost, I would want to know whether any .tv names carry premium pricing under the Verisign pricing structure before I even considered bidding on them because renewal pricing influences a domain’s value more in the .tv extension than other extensions…

Well folks, there is no denying it, the .TV geo space is hot. In particular, the US city space. And has been hot for some time.

Every city in the US with a population larger than a gaggle of geese has been snapped up. And I am not just talking about the city.tv such as Newark.tv.

Combinations have also been bought up - such as PortlandMaine.tv. The Mys are gone too, such as MySanjose.tv. So too are the tv.tv such as NewYorkTv.Tv. Then you have all sorts of add ons such as ChicagoGuide.TV. The list is endless.

Of course there is the always the exception to the rule. Dallas.tv is still available to anyone willing to pay the $30,000 a year premium. Other than that - the top 100 cities in the USA are all gone and quite possibly the top 1000 cities too.

The question is why. Why is the geo such an attractive option for the .tv speculator and developer.
