Late night ranting. @lordmwesh i think they (or at least you) have all the maths wrong. If we have only 4000 domains, why do we need soo many staff members. That means the industry is heaving a heavier burden than it can carry. Onto economies of scale, which one preceeds the other, lowering the prices or getting more volumes to achieve economies of scale?

Don't forget the economies of scale enjoyed by the giant gTLD root registries, and the 'hidden' charges in renewal where a .com domain reverts to $10 on the second year. Don't also forget that such gTLD companies are able to make more revenue on associated products like hosting, emails, search engine optimization, marketing, software development, nakadhalika.
Also do the maths, 3000 total domains, assume all are co.ke @2000 that is KES6Million/year to pay all KENIC salaries, manage servers, pay KIXP, pay bandwidth, do marketing, e.t.c.
Lets give KENIC a breathing space and help them with their marketing strategy. Let us help build brand Kenya. Let us convince our clients to take .ke domains, and be patriotic, like what is happening in South Africa, Japan, and Australia
