The
week-long online auction, set to begin April 1, 2010
at Noon (Eastern time) and end on April 8, 2010 at
Noon, will offer a broad selection of generic, numeric and
geographic .tv domains. The catalog includes Beauty.tv,
Bloopers.tv, Business.tv, Cable.tv, Films.tv,
Finance.tv, Home.tv, Jobs.tv, and Vacation.tv,
to name a few. This marks the first time that these .tv
domain names have been offered in a public auction, free
of high annual renewal fees. Sedo's
announcement noted "the prevalence of television and
video on the internet makes .tv a relevant and desirable
extension for many companies and brands. The extension has
been successfully used by high profile brands such as MTV
Networks and Major League Baseball to extend
their reach to targeted audiences and visitors."
