ccTLDs are really for the country, vanity use is, well, vanity, which sometimes gets crushed. Caveat emptor. The more less stable the country the greater the chance of problems.

I wonder what happens to .tv if Tuvalu goes under the waves.

That's the entirety of my point. ccTLDs being the only way to get "nice" domain names that don't end in .com is a global snafu.
