Well, first of all, who is managing the .ug TLD, or any other TLD for that matter? This is always a sticky point, and once government gets involved, it can get ugly - especially if the head of the commission looking into this thing called .ug doesn't have enough clue to type with one hand, let alone boot a computer or know much about domains. But then again, the country whose TLD was .tv made a lot of money after they sold it to some chap who envisioned the success of said TLD. It was a shame, honestly, and the buyer is making more money than he paid for it (naturally). The previous owners must have seen 2-year's GDP worth, and couldn't see the bigger picture. You don't want to sell your TLD like that :).
