Here are a few points from the Exec summary:

• In mid 2008 there were 168 million domain name registrations.
• 4% growth over Q1 2008 and a 22% growth over the same quarter last year.
• In terms of total registrations its .com followed by .de, .cn and .net.
• .uk and .org had about the same number of registrations (give or take 35k)

“We have received notice from Verisign that today’s drop has been cancelled due to technical difficulties on their end. We have been told by Verisign that the domains from today’s drop will be included in tomorrow’s drop. As we receive further information from the registry, we will be sure to keep you advised.”

Like me, you are probably asking, how exactly does a domain name drop get canceled? Hopefully I will have some answers on this soon. Stay tuned!
