In an article from Trefis a stock analysis firm on Verisign out today cites ccTLD’s not new gTLD’s as the biggest threat to Verisign.
“For the six months so far into fiscal year 2014, VeriSign reported revenues of approximately $499 million vs. $476 million during a similar period in 2013, indicating a 5% growth in its top line. Comparatively, sales growth from H1’12 to H1’13 was over 10%. The rapid slowdown in sales growth was partially affected by a surge in demand for country code top-level domain names (ccTLDs) and other new generic top-level domains (gTLDs). VeriSign reports that ccTLD registrations have grown at more than thrice the growth rate of the .com and .net domain names in its latest Q1’14 Domain Name Industry Brief.
