Though the addressable market is in the millions, we foresee a slow adoption curve. Afilias anticipates that potential registrants will be slow to purchase the new TLD and invest in changing their web presence. Therefore, we forecast having approximately 8,000 Domains Under Management (DUMs) by the third year of operation. Our financial responses in questions 45 though 50 go into detail on our funding, cost and revenue projections.
