I really wouldn't say even that much. The problem with doing percentages is that in order to do them, you actually have to know how big the Internet is right now. No one really knows that. Estimates range from 20 million to half a billion. I mean, the entire eDNS, AlterNIC and all the other 'alternet registries' are silly. I rather have a set of rules, regulations, official committees where more than 'one guy who once sold domains and figures that he can make a lot more this way' decides who gets what. Granted, InterNIC has its problems, billing isn't perfect yet, some technical bugs need to be worked out... but damn it, do you REALLY think that you can do better? I mean, you try dealing with 500,000 checks coming in and see how many billing mistakes you'll make. The fact of the matter is that the idea of the Internet is getting screwed up by people who want to turn a fast buck. I'm sick and tired of it. I don't mind people selling products on the web, but I just wish it would STOP there. I mean, things like MS rewriting ICMP because they didn't like it and trying to force everyone to adapt is completely uncalled for. The same applies for eDNS. Seriously, if you want to promote eDNS (which it is obvious the person who posted the messages does), go somewhere else. I really don't need talk about ".XXX FOR SALE!!!" cluttering up my mailbox.
