LLLL.in does it have any future?

by Srinath on October 13, 2008

LLL.in wasnt that big success as of now. only pronounceable names or premium names are sold at good price in high $xx to low $x,xxx.

Facts about India here. Population 1,132,446,000. Official Language Hindi,English.

English, which is extensively used in business and administration, has the status of a ’subsidiary official language.’

From my view as an Indian.

I don’t think people will spend $xxx or $xxxx for a domain name. In India people usually bargain a lot for what they get if not they find an alternative. ex : if tabo.in costs $x,xxx he might choose taboindia.in for $xx. ( The same applies to LLL.in’s. In India most of the companies are of either started developing or of small or mid scale. There are little chances for Mid’s to buyout LLL or LLLL.in’s. Right now there are more than 70% of good LLLL.in’s are available. I actually had an idea of registering atleast 5k good LLLL.in’s but actually dropped the plan since reg fee itself is $13.xx at resellerclub. and registering will cost $66,xxx it will come around 32 Lakhs and at the expense of it i need to sell atleast few domains at cost of $100 or $200. since no one is goona buy all of 5k domains i might sell 1-200 at a price of $300 each… 300×200=60000 :P . But even at that much cost i need to sell only to enduser. since there is no reseller price for LLLL.in. If i had luck i would make more than my investment but right now time is not good for economy and even not a good idea to invest in LLLL.in but after 3 or more years things might take a shift. LLLL.in’s and LLL.in’s today are good only for foreign corporates coming to invest in India. With one laptop perchild and Nuclear deal signing off . American Corporates will be investing in India and moreover English is used 95% in Administration and even in Schools english is medium of First language, Indian Internet users grow day by day (we have dumb government investing in 3G technology when the world started using 4G hehe). India’s cTld .in will boom in next 10years things will change drastically. Right now iam going ahead with llll.com’s and .net’s.

To sumup LLLL.in right now dosent have any future since no indian companies as of now will be ready to spend xxxx amount on domains. but after 5-7 years its price will increase corporate thinking about internet might change. If you have your own views post it as comment but plz dont burn this post hehe.
