From 'About Tuvalu' on the .tv site:
.tv is the top-level domain indicator (like .com or .net) assigned to the country of Tuvalu, a small Pacific Island nation. Through a perpetual agreement with Tuvalu, The .tv Corporation became the exclusive registry and a registrar for names in the .tv domain. Tuvalu plans to use proceeds from the agreement to increase the quality of life for its citizens and future generations.
Composed of nine tiny atolls spread across hundreds of miles in the Pacific Ocean, Tuvalu occupies only about ten square miles of dry land. The Pacific Island nation's 10,000 citizens speak Tuvaluan, Samoan, and English, and local customs are steeped in Polynesian tradition. Dancing, singing, and music play a big part in Tuvaluan culture, which is surprisingly welcoming to visitors, given the nation's relative isolation. |
