No, I'd rather do arithmetic on verifiable facts. I also have to wonder about .ASIA's long term viability. If they have under 200K domains, since their registry fee is $10, their annual revenue is under $2M. They probably pay half of that to Afilias to manage the registry, and you can't pay much of a staff on under $1M/yr.
Depends on how many staff you actually need ..
If Afilias is handling all the technical stuff and the customer support, then why would DotAsia need loads of staff?
It's everything that allegedly makes .ASIA different from a purely generic TLD like .INFO. As a specific example, who if anyone does compliance to check that registrants in .ASIA meet the registration requirements?
Several of the registries have very small head counts
Yes, we all know about .MUSEUM and .COOP, but I wouldn't hold them up as great examples. As I blogged a while ago, I was surprised to discover that I am .COOP's compliance department. R's, John
