This is pure strong arming tactics by Go Daddy to most likely squeeze out a better wholesale deal with the .TV Registry and tick off Verisign, the .TV Registry. The "level" of this country sinking is nothing new, so why NOW? Public service for Go Daddy's customers? I think not. Go Daddy had NO problem selling .TV domains at $29.99, then $24.99, then $19.99, then $14.99... ect. Now it's $39.99 and NOW there is a problem with the ccTLD? No, it's that Parsons is NOT getting a sweet deal and to SHOW the .TV people, he's dished the domain extension and hijacked the price $39.99. If Go Daddy was JUST looking out for it's customers, they SHOULD disclaim their OWN domain extension .ME - The country of Montenegro has changed so much, that is has had no less then 3 domain extensions in the past 5 years. .YU, .CS (that was NEVER used) and now .ME.. what's next? Why would we believe that Montenegro is going to be around any longer then when Tuvalu sinks. Most likely it's not, then again "This has nothing to do the a sinking island country". Don't try to fool us Parsons we know your game. The only one that is getting screwed it THEIR own customers, that paid $14.99 for .TV a year ago and NOW have to pay $39.99 to renew. Wait, didn't Parsons go off any of his blog a while back about Yahoo hijacking their domain prices from $9.99 to $34.99? He claimed Go Daddy just won't do that? Well look now.

But like I said, it's so unlikely, it's not even funny! If .TV ever goes down, then Godaddy will have to refund me for every registration plus site development costs.
