I just checked the stats again.

.asia doesn't seem to be doing well these days. Domain count stats are as follows:

Jan - 241,129
Feb - 243,816
Mar - 245,196
Apr - 243,884
May - 238,713
Jun - 214,324
Jul -211,741
Aug - 210,985

The all-time high for .asia domains was in August 2008 at 205,320.

Also, here's an update to the .mobi stats that was posted earlier:

May - 836,355
June - 838,871
July - 841,571
Aug - 844,687
Sept - 854,594 (Sept not yet finished)

Seems like .mobi has been a bit more popular this September. Has there been a marketing push for .mobi or something?
