information New gTLD Success Will Be Measured Only by Use; Not Sales, Not Registrations

The only thing that will measure the success of new gTLDs in general is when mass amounts of users begin to register them without the need for the .com. When both consumers and businesses begin to build their foundations on new gTLD domains without worry or concern for who may be the holder of the .com version of the domain, or whether or not the .com is even registered – that is when we will know that new domain extensions are winners.
