[ga] Steady State $$$ and Domains

["Jim Fleming" <JimFleming@prodigy.net>]

There was a time on the IPv4 Internet, where people described it
as "Ma, Pa and a T1".....the Next Generation Internet is reaching that
point...

As people survey the state of the Domain Business, they naturally are
trying to figure out the Steady State for the $$$. That shapes their
investment
decisions.

If one believes the analysts who claim that the SLD.TLD namespace will reach
a steady state of 120,000,000 names and one assumes about 2,000 Top Level
Domains (TLDs), then this amounts to an average of 60,000 SLD.TLD names
per TLD, if one assumes some even distribution.

If one then assumes that "Ma, Pa, their T1, and servers" need about $10
million
per year to operate, this amounts to $166.66 per year, on average, per
SLD.TLD.
For every SLD.TLD name at $6 per year, there may be one at $320 per year.

Does anyone have any idea how many of these people jet-setting around to
the ICANN meetings all year, have reached these steady state levels ?
