Warning: .TV domains are sinking

200x190.jpgPeople trying to register .tv domain names are being warned that the island of Tuvalu, which the domain represents, is sinking.

Domain registrar GoDaddy is even claiming that, because the Pacific Ocean island could go the way of Atlantis, users should opt for .com or .net domains instead.

As a result of global warming Tuvalu - which at it's peak is just 5m above sea-level - could disappear, and if it ceases to exist so will .tv domains.

What the odd news means for us at newslite.tv is not clear ... but we have our bathing suits ready.
Web domain bosses ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) say that if the Tuvalu government was to disappear .tv domains would be retired.
