How big is the drop catching market?

[bunder]

Any thoughts on how big the .uk drop catching market is in terms of the number of .uk domains that are caught through drop catching services?

1,000 a month across everyone? Much more?

cheers

thanks for the pointer. It will be interesting to see how this market is developing and the growth.

It will peak at the point when enough people have their redundancy money in hand and start to build new businesses.

I'd say more than 3000 a month, given that 20,000+ a month drop.

174 domains caught today (that I know of) which extrapolates out to 5,300 a month, assuming this is an average day.

Not all caught, some hand regged after the drop.

The question referred to "through drop catching services?". So, would guess in the hundreds.

A majority of the drops go to entities running their own private set-up.

Hi folks. A few months on and do people think more names are dropping now?
