.es Marches Towards One Million Registrations

Monday, April 14th, 2008 by admin

.es, Spain’s ccTLD, is well on the way to its one millionth registration and will pass the nine hundred thousandth domain registration this month. It is expected the one millionth registration will occur in May.
Registrations have soared from around 85,000 at the end of 2005 to almost 300,000 in December 2006, almost 508,000 in 2006 and 805,000 at the end of 2007.

The liberalising of .es registration requirements is the main reason for the rapid increase in registrations, as well as.es becoming the equivalent of .com for the Spanish-speaking world.

Disney sells 4 million movies and over 40 million videos on iTunes — amounts to nothing

Disney announced that it sold 4 million movies and between 40 to 50 million videos on iTunes since 2006. That’s huge, right? Not really. In fact, analysts expect those numbers to amount to just $123 million ($1.44 earned per video, $14.50 per movie); pennies in comparison to Disney’s $35 billion in annual sales. In fact, it’s roughly 10% of the $1 billion in digital revenue Disney hopes to achieve this year. A clear reminder, dear readers, of just how Type-A we really are. The typical Wal-mart noob still doesn’t download their video and music — hell, they can’t even figure out Linux.
