If this is as good for Tuvalu as .tk has been for Tokelau, I say hooray for the .tv age! Next up: The British Indian Ocean Territory rises with the deluge of .io domains.
- corin_ 12y agoAccording to a CNN piece from two years ago [1] Tokelau gets 1/6th of its economy from .tk domains, but it's GDP is only $1.2m. Compare that to Tuvalu, which according to this NYTimes piece first negotiated a deal worth $50m over 12 years, but now gets around $2m a year. If I haven't screwed up my sums, that works out to roughly $150/person for Tokelau compared to $200/person for Tuvalu (Population TK 1,300, from CNN piece. TV 10,000 from NYT piece) [1] http://edition.cnn.com/2012/06/13/tech/web/tokelau-domain-name-holder/?c=&page=2 http://edition.cnn.com/2012/06/13/tech/web/tokelau-domain-na...
