[AfrICANN-discuss] Re: AfrICANN Digest, Vol 83, Issue 49

[Daniel Greenberg - Lexsynergy Limited]

If the local presence requirement is removed it may spark an interest in 
.KE.

Also the cost price is more than double that of a .com and 7 times more 
than a co.za registration.

African registries need to step up to the plate and offer competitive 
pricing to allow registrars to market the TLDs effectively.

Daniel Greenberg
