From their website
(http://www.tv/en-def-71af75e99907/en/about/about_company_overview.shtml):
Where did dotTV come from?
.tv is the top level domain indicator (like .edu or .org) assigned to the
country of Tuvalu, a small Pacific Island nation. Through an agreement with
Tuvalu, dotTV became the exclusive registry and registrar for names in the
.tv domain. Tuvalu plans to use proceeds from the agreement a minimum of
$4 million per year over the next ten years to increase the quality of
life for its approximately 10,000 citizens. Tuvalu is also a significant
minority shareholder in dotTV and has a seat on dotTV's board.
Cheers,
