I agree about WS, CC and to some degree ORG. But TV better than NET??
I would gues NET is understood everywhere in the world for what it
stands for, which is a lot more to the point for domains than TV.
Go for NET-names now. People know about them, every user does. Which
is much more than can be said for WS, CC and TV. Not to mention BIZ,
INFO and NAME.
NET will be much more interesting with all these new TLDs, whether
they are ccTLDs or new gTLDs.
If it isn't COM, it must be NET.
