Depending on your viewpoint, I was either “entitled”, one of the lucky ones or wasted $130 on a .asia. Yes about a month ago I was allocated prosperity.asia. No, I didn’t have to go to auction because I already had the company name and registered the .asia as a part of the Sunrise 3 round.
Like most Australian domainers, I have been bombarded with email from US registrars telling me how this thing is “the next Internet landrush”. So, what do the numbers actually say? Well, last night the .Asia / Pool.com team emailed me with some interesting figures.
- From February 20, 2008 to March 12, 2008 (the .ASIA Landrush Period) they received 473,633 domain name applications.
- 45,697 domains received more than one application during the Landrush Period.
For those that didn’t participate, the remaining domains will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis on March 26, 2008.
