@Mich <br>In my opinion, the numbers show that since we have fewer domains, we pay more. However, the point that many people are trying is that by keeping the cost high - the price-sensitive market is discouraged from taking a <a href="http://co.ke">co.ke</a> and will opt for the .com. This ultimately slows down the uptake of .<a href="http://co.ke">co.ke</a>.<br>
<br>Thinking of it as an aspiring domain owner - does owning a .<a href="http://co.ke">co.ke</a> add more value than owning a .com to justify the premium (x5) that i will be paying for? <br><br>Come to think of it - what value does a .<a href="http://co.ke">co.ke</a> add over a .com to justify x5 - x10 premium?<br>
