.TV is the country code for Tuvalu, a country in the west-central Pacific Ocean.
The average height of the islands is less than 2 meters, with climate change, it’s likely that Tuvalu will disappear one day.
Would .tv disappear if ever the Island of Tuvalu disappears ?
The answer: “If the code element is removed, the ccTLD is eligible for Retirement. Reason for removal is not of relevance.”
But perhaps ICANN would make an exception for a highly-used and commercialized ccTLD.
