[edit] 100% of government income

100% of government income of the Tuvalu comes from the leasing of this name. is this remotely true? Oxinabox1 08:06, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

According to economy of Tuvalu, (in 2000) goverment revenues were about $22.5 million, making the $4 million .tv payout about 18% of revenue. For comparison, as a proportion that's less than the Australian government makes on corporation tax but more than customs. Algebraist 23:28, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced paragraph

There has been some controversy as to who should be allowed to reserve .tv domain names. A significant percentage of websites with .tv URLs are pornographic or otherwise sexually explicit.^{[citation needed]} While this has raised significant revenue for the small nation, it has also created conflict. Much of Tuvalu's population is conservative Christian, and some feel that revenue from those sources is immoral.

This sounds suspicious. Could we have references for this paragraph? CloudNine 11:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
