     dot-au statistics

This page provides some figures for growth of the dot-au space.

It covers -

     introduction

One difficulty in mapping the shape of the dot-au 2LDs is the lack of published official data for the period to 1999 and for some closed 2LDs from 2002/3.

Note that the following figures identify the number of registrations rather than the number of active sites. Some figures are not publicly available.
