I will agree to disagree for many reasons. Because of the unique nature of this extension, most of the good domains are premiums. If the Premium inventory is rapidly increasing, this means that businesses and individuals who at one time had decided to invest in the extension are now leaving. This is very bad. They are probably following the lead of other former players Current.tv and ChannelMe.tv who have also decided to depart. The only chance that Dot TV has for survival is for Verisign to obtain a lengthy contract extension with Tuvalu. But it's probably too late in the game now for that to work. IMO. It’s ok.

IMHO, It reflects solely the health of the premium pricing, which of course, becomes less and less popular (eNom powered) “Monitoring the premium drop ratio is the best method for tracking the health of Dot TV” – MicroGuy
