.de breaks 8 million mark, largest ccTLD

[aww]

Germany now has the largest country code TLD in the world with 8 million registrations, followed by 3.7 million for England.

Denic reports eight millionth .de registration

.de Denic received the eight millionth application for the registration of a domain. Denic has further improved the position of .de as the world’s favourite Country Code TLD, ahead of .uk, which has around 3.7 million registrations.
...
Only one TLD – .com, with more than 30 million domains – is more intensively used than .de.

yea, I've noticed this as well, I've rarely ever seen a german site not pointed at a .de, compared to MANY uk sites at .coms
