Nic it is obvious that the market has not picked up on the new TLDs YET. Many people assume that since because the new TLDs involve the Internet the process would be much faster. True for some cases but not for this one. First of all domain specualators and registrars is only a very small fraction of Internet users today. What is obvious and old news to us, is still unlear and unheard news for the majority. The time will come when we will experience and new economic boom like we had during the .com period (maybe not as big). Inflated prices for .coms will slowly lead the market to the new TLDs. For the USA I think that the .us will be the first choice for most of these people. I would say we will see some results within a year. Of course it will take a very long time for other TLDS to even get near the .com, but it has to start somewhere and sometime. Remember that domain speculators is a big factor in why I believe we will see this change take place. The scaricity of the good .coms and inflated prices to obtain those will be the major factors behind the change. Why pay thousands of dollars for a .com when you can pay much less for a .us? |
