1 Billion More Internet Users Projected w/in 10 Years



Within the next 10 years, the number of internet usage will double with 1 billion more internet users. China is projected to account for 25% of this increase by adding an expected 250 million internet users. India and Brazil will add internet users in the area of 200 million. The fastest growth rate of internet usage globally is expected to be the African continent. What will the effect of another billion users have on the internet and domain investors?

Hi Steve Smith,
I am a relatively new domainer from nearby Newport, RI. In the last 15 months, I've accumulated just over a 1000 decent generic quality type-in names.

I read your blog site almost everyday and admire the different sources of the news you post. I also admire the different scrolling format your blog takes particularly when it reaches the ACAIJUICE.COM, girl.

I see you are involved with the site and this is why I'm writing. Today on Namejet, the following names are on Pre-Release Backorder:
acaicapsule.com $70.00 - Dec. 25, 2007 8 PM
acaiextract.com $70.00 - Dec. 25, 2007 8 PM
acaipulp.com $70.00 - Dec. 25, 2007 8 PM
acaismoothie.com $70.00 - Dec. 25, 2007 8 PM

I thought you might be interested. They may even be yours because there is a block on the Whois?

As a new entrant to the domain business (I hate the term Newbie), I have lots of ideas and questions, that I would like to bounce around. Is this the best way to contact you?

Looking Forward,
Dale Buckey

This is a really good article and goes to show how the internet growth could increase the valuation of domain names.

What do you think about the effect of internet growth on domain names and their valuations?
