What are the reasons for this? I assume there are several, but it could be there are some reasons that have had more of an impact. Here are statistics based on the top ten countries who register .com domain names: Country .COM per capita ------- --------------- Hong Kong 20.34% United States 12.94% Australia 6.20% Canada 6.12% United Kingdom 3.74% Germany 3.45% France 2.00% Spain 1.58% Japan 0.56% China 0.15% Country ccTLD per capita ------- ---------------- Germany 13.36% United Kingdom 9.90% Australia 4.28% Canada 2.58% Hong Kong 1.93% France 1.31% Spain 1.27% Japan 0.72% United States 0.41% China 0.14% These statistics will be in the next version of my paper together with the sources I used. If anyone else has any further empirical evidence for or against opening up .au then please share it with me. Josh -- http://josh.id.au/Received on Fri Jun 29 2007 - 02:04:38 UTC
