<p>I have made no assessment of the effect of the launch of .uk domain names on the
competitiveness of the domain registration market. However, the UK has one of the
most competitive domain name markets in the world, with over 10m domain names on the
.uk registry, making it the 6th largest registry. The wholesale price for domain names
in the UK is less than those for .com or .net domain names and some 2700 domain name
registries compete in the retail market for .uk domains, bringing significant benefits
for consumers. Since the launch of .uk Second Level Domain Names, over 50,000 .uk
second level domains were registered on the first day and over 100,000 after the first
month.</p>
