The domain bs is a interesting case of scummy practices in general, .tv was missused in a similar way with awful contracts, essentially scamming a already increadably poor country!

Didn't Tuvalu massively benefit from being assigned a TLD that is popular? I read they were able to build an airport with .tv money

Yea, they managed to get it back at some point but it was under external control with close to no benefit for them for a long time!
