Not all letters are created equal. See the definition of Premium Letters in domain names for a list of which letters are more valuable.
CVCV refers to the domain itself and makes no specification as to the Top Level Domain (TLD), such as com or net.
An example of an CVCV.com domain name is hulu.com.
An example of an CVCV.net domain name is gogo.net.
