Re: [ga] is there any factual information about how many SLDs for individu als or organizations exist in cc?

["William X. Walsh" <william@userfriendly.com>]

Hello Marilyn,

I can't find it right now, but I'll look this week for it, there was a
report that even in the countries with large numbers of registrations
under their ccTLD (suck as .uk and .fr) that com/net/org were still
the leading TLDs for registrations.

I think the "people will want to be under the ccTLD for their country"
statement is a myth.

This is most especially true when the ccTLD's policy forces them into a
third level domain situation instead of a second level domain.
