I was not trying to Insult India.
The fact is, it is a poor nation. Extensions with the msot value are DIRECTLY related to the per capita income, do some research yourself. I don't make the rules, I just follow them ..
You are correct though, domains are about specific demand. There is not going to be as high of a demand for the small sized businesses to be online in such a country. In USA, Canada, UK, Australia, etc .. It is unheard of to open a business without a web address. It is an expected cost of business.
India is not to that point yet. I am not saying they won't get their, but it will be a slower process because this basic reason. Lack of supply = more demand. Right now there is plenty of supply because all of the small companies are not even trying to reserve their web space (even if not utilized) as either they don't envision an online presence or they feel it is unimportant. Otherwise, you would see smart street vendors giving out bags with their merchandise with their web site url on it. 1,000's of other variations when it comes to marketing that push people to their web site.
The country just has not developed like that yet, and the places where it HAS have all been countries with a higher per capita income.
Again, no disrespect to India at all, but these are the facts as I know them. If i am wrong please let me know.
No worries Ryan. Actions speak louder than words and our investment in India's extension is proof of that. Maybe reading that dampens my optimism a little bit but we must all continue the trek. Thanks for your comments.
