I have a feeling that there will be a flexible or at least variable
growth pattern once some minimal structure is put in place.
As an example, if you take the 256 TLDs and declare that all
can create 7 more TLDs they may all do it at different rates. This
will appear to the consumers as a market-driven growth pattern.

In my opinion, people should not be too concerned about the
growth getting out of control. If there has been one thing that
has been surprising over the past few years, it has been the
fact that very few companies are willing to make the investments
to understand and prepare to participate in the Registry Industry.
