I would estimate that that 90% of biz and info registrations are by speculative resellers. A futher 5% are by TM interests as mark protection (and unused). The last 5% (if that) are being used as a website (without a mirror somewhere in CNO. .biz and .info aren't even on the usage radar yet. Possibly never will be. -- Paul Gordon, IQ Management Corporation http://iqmc.com
