The other side of the coin? Would I be willing to incur losses for selling .co.ke at $10 (or lower) for as long as it takes to break even. Would mean maybe looking for cash for operations from an already broke govt. I honestly don't think that $50 for a .co.ke per year would be a show stopper for someone wanting to put something out there long term... granted - it may be comparatively much more than a domain, but what happened to proudly Kenyan. 2009/5/8 Njoroge Tito <titonjoroge@gmail.com>
@Mich 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 co.keand will opt for the .com. This ultimately slows down the uptake of . co.ke.
Thinking of it as an aspiring domain owner - does owning a .co.ke add more value than owning a .com to justify the premium (x5) that i will be paying for?
Come to think of it - what value does a .co.ke add over a .com to justify x5 - x10 premium?

Guys, help me understand this; how comes 1and1 <http://www.1and1.com/> will charge $3.99 per month (KShs. 3830 pa) for a linux hosting package that includes a .com domain, yet eacdirectory <http://www.eacdirectory.com/> will charge KShs. 2320 for .co.ke domain registration only!
Again - 37 million vs. 10,000 reasons. Does this make sense?
