How do we sell this if the clients can not check availability from our site?
We have to hope they will come back from dot.tv and register with us but oh
yea the price might go up and we cannot promise anyone what they might have to
pay for renewals.A single customer will check 10 names an hour before they
find one several days later. Then they suddenly want $100,000 for your great
name. Please forward my disgust in the dot.tv registry.
