Cahn kicked it off with his thoughts on another boom year for the domain business in 2007. "With a total base of more than 146 million domains, the rapid and continued growth and expansion of new domain registrations worldwide is proof that the industry as a whole is healthy," Cahn said. "Not only have .com domains continued to expand at a healthy rate, but other TLDs and extensions have also seen remarkable growth. Localization of the internet continues to increase. Not only have we seen a stronger interest in geo target domains, but country code domains – with Germany’s .de and China’s .cn leading the pack – continue to draw attention from both businesses looking for market share in those countries and individual domain investors who are expanding their portfolios. We see even further evidence of this with the increase in demand for Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), which allow internet users with a non-ASCII alphabet to type domains in their native languages." |
