...yeah, kinda like saying that technology had nothing to do with radio's demise when television entered the scene. Your logic seems a bit convoluted in this regard.
hmmm. the convolutions seem to be yours. as i understand your position is that technologic developments will make web based video more of a commonplace thing, and that will then make .tv a more recognizable/valuable domain. do i get that right? and you dont see the stretch?
it seems to me that technologic advances are just as likely, if not more so, to make domains themselves obsolete. we've certainly all grown accustomed to them but theres nothing about them thats actually neccesary for the web to work except that we have all gotten used to them and put them into neccesary functions. they were in fact developed as an afterthought simply becasue it was so difficult for humans to remember the ip addresses that were, and still are, at the heart of the internet protocols.
i can clearly see a time very near where the dns is replaced by another system.

...actually, no, it is not a great disservice nor a small disservice, for that matter. It is an investment, pure and simple. A speculative one to be sure but an investment nonetheless. Some haven't invested properly and some have.
i supose then the argument is only over semantics? in your view is $25 dropped in a slot machine an "investment"? it sounds like it. yeah, sure, buy a lottery ticket and call it an investment. but the difference between that and something like a bond or even a good traffic domain is that one is likely to result in a total loss of capital and the other is more likely to proved a return.

And how many non-idiotic ones?
well how many would you say? you obviously have plenty of time on your hands default so would you undertake a thourough study of the matter and report the findings?
my offhand guess is there are about 100 totally ridiculous domains offered for sale here for every one truly decent.
and even the decent ones dont get sold for very much, we all know that domainer pricing is a miniscule fraction of what we hope to get from the elusive end-user.
Read this type of thing on Forex forums too..
you have time to hang around those too??
As always, I will say that I look forward to seeing your bona fide development come to fruition in the near future.
me too.
and if it doesnt i'll have to accept the fact that i've wasted over a million dollars buying and holding .tv names.
