A few items: See NSI Fuels Speculation to Go Public at: http://www.idg.com/idg/news/itnews/October/100796/07.htm Also, I've been doing some statistical analysis on NSI registration growth rates. Averaged over the last twelve months, there is approximately a 15% growth rate per month in registrations done by NSI (they've just passed 600,000 total registrations mark). If this growth continues unabated, then by the end of September 1997, there will be approximately 3.1 million registrations generating a maximum annual revenue of US$ 158 million dollars. Furthermore, by the end of the NSF cooperative agreement with NSI (September 1998) there will be approximately 17 million NSI domain name registrations which gives a projected annual revenue of US$ 841 million dollars.
