Sue,
I am not an expert, but I think after the introduction of the new TLDs there
will be a big "gold-rush" for new names under the new TLDs. However, there
are much more domains registered than used already. The guys at greatDomains
are proud of the enormous value of all the domains they are listing -
however, do a domain really worth thousands of bucks if you cannot sell it?
There will be millions of new domains on the market very soon... and after a
year everyone will notice that it is not a good business any more, because
there is no market. However, by then, all good names will be taken... I
think there should be a "you cannot register if you do not use it" policy.
Of course it is hard to enforce, if not impossible, but the tendency just
stinks. All in all, the number of .com registration will decrease
dramatically, I am very sure about that. If we want to stay in business, we
have to cooperate with other registars too.
