New Study Challenges State of Domain Market

penciling_in writes "A new study has been released on CircleID where Benjamin Edelman of Berkman Center for Internet & Society explains: "In the past, most measurements of registrar market share have tracked overall registrar shares -- number of domains registered by a registrar divided by number of domains registered by all registrars. In this article, I propose some alternatives -- particular subsets of domains in which to measure registrar market shares, providing a basis for comparison with overall market shares. Results vary dramatically across these subsets, with implications on the future customer retention rates of the corresponding registrars."
