Partners hope to profit from Internet .tv

Article Abstract:

Information.ca Infotouch Corp., a computer marketing firm based in Canada, has entered a deal to promote and license the Internet domain name of the small Polynesian state of Tuvalu, which is .tv. The Tuvalu government believes that its internet domain name could prove to be a profitable marketing tool for television broadcaster around the globe. Tuvalu Prime Minister Bikenibeu Paeinu says the deal enabling Information.ca to license the domain name will net the country $60 million to $100 million a year. An Information.ca official, however, has cautioned such forecasts are still very premature.
