Tuvalu Regains Control of .TV

Recently discovered documents reveal that Tuvalu has regained control of its .TV domain.

This means that Tuvalu now appears to control wholesale renewal pricing and may also explain the recent surge in premium renewal pricing at Enom. Unlike the original 2000 contract with the .TV Corporation, this new contract appears to be little more than a merchandising deal whereby Tuvalu regains authoritative control. ***8220;In January 2002 .tv Corp. became a wholly owned subsidiary of VeriSign Corp., which bought it for $45 million in an agreement by which Tuvalu maintains control of the management of its domain name.***8221; ***8211; Source Encyclopedia.com.

Let***8217;s just hope they don***8217;t take notes from the .SC folks anytime soon.
