If I asked 100 people on the street what NET meant, 90 wouldn't have a clue. If I asked about TV, 100% would know. Of course it's horses for courses, for some sites NET is appropriate and TV isn't, but if you are looking to launch a media site using broadband technology, TV will be the natural and appropriate choice of name for many organizations.
