Taiwan’s 7.67 million hosted Internet domain names consisted of 3.83 million for the top-level “.tw” domain and 3.84 million for the second-level “.hinet.net” domain, the agency pointed out. The number, a rough indicator of Taiwan’s Internet hardware serving capacity and Internet user base size, accounted for 2.17% of the 353.28 million Internet domain names around the world

Yep, most people missed this great opportunity with the general release of .tw late last year. The .com.tw etc had been around for some time.

I was lucky enough to get 30 good ones and have already made two sales in the $xxxx for Notebooks.tw & Blogs.tw - more to come.
