My question is regarding domain name value and usage.
http://www.yellowpages.com sold to SBC and BS for a reported $100
million earlier this year. It did not have the revenue to substantiate
such a bulk purchase price I further understand. Many industry experts say it
was the largest amount paid for a domain name in the history of the
web. Yellowpages.com was established in the same city and about the
same time as as  http://yellowpagesnationwide.com - Las vegas, Nevada.
Yellowpages.com
is shorter than the nationwide moniquer but in some reports the
nationwide out performs the yellowpages.com in usage and popularity.
The question is http://www.yellowpagesnationwide.com also has the
rights to http://www.yellowpages.tv. What is the value of
http://www.yellowpages.tv to the longer
http://www.yellowpagesnationwide.com? Do the .TV domain name
extentions have the validity of some of the extreme costs companies
have paid for their annual rights to control that specific domain
name?  Thank You.

Internet sever isp's are not required to support the .tv extension.
Which means that search's will not perform as well with that
extension. However these day's paid ad's and click's are the star
performer's over searches any day. I don't know who justified that
price for yellowpages.com but they will never realize that investment
on the web.
