Vincent:
APTLD did a study in 2007 to determine whether
pricing makes a difference.
The general conclusion was only when prices start
high. There was not enough data to be able to make specific forecast
models, but there was a bit of conclusion.
Example. If your prices are currently at
US$100 per name per year, then a reduction to US$40 per name per year will make
a difference.
But, if your prices are US$20/name/year, then a
reduction to US$10/n/y won't make as big a difference.
The key driver, however, was the performance of the
local economy generally and its ICT uptake specifically (as measured by local
COM/NET registrations as a proxy). There's complementary
relationships.

Dear
All,
Has any ccTLD, or anyone for that matter, done a study on global
ccTLD pricing models and the effects of the various pricing models; mainly on
growth. We've just revised our pricing model and will keep monitoring the
effect. However, it would help if we could have a presentation on this. If I
recall well, Nominet has done something some time back.
Perhaps this is
a project that the ccNSO, or any regional ccTLD association, could consider
(co-)sponsoring?
Regards,
