Competition for registration of domains in the namespace is irrelevant
to me, because I'm not thinking about it from the perspective of a
registrar's business opportunity. It doesn't make any difference to me
what TLD we register people into, or for that matter, whether we do 6
registrations this year or 500,000. What I do care about is how likely
users are to look in a TLD when seeking information, and what beliefs
they form about the site based on its URL.
