How many .xxx domain names will be registered in the first year?
ICM Registry says it has received nearly 900,000 “expressions of interest” for its .xxx top level domain name. It has also extended the sunrise period for trademark holders, apparently due to demand.
Anyone could submit an expression of interest in a .xxx domain name and some of them are for the same domain name, so no one has paid the $70+ per domain for these yet. But that will soon change.
It’s clear there will be a lot of registrations, and not all from willing participants. There are also already over two dozen domain name registrars signed up to accept registrations — most notably GoDaddy.
So, how many domains do you think will be registered by one year after general availability, which would be December 7, 2012?
Expressions of interest are one thing …
Pulling out your wallet (or purse) to actually pay for one/them quite another.
I’m going w/100k-250k by 12/2012.
Then watch all the drops thereafter.
