InterNIC question I forgot to ask...

A question occurred to me after the InterNIC presentation at
NANOG, and I couldn't track down the gentleman doing the presentation.
This is probably something that needs research anyway.

The statistics on NEW domain registrations are interesting.
What are the statistics on domains that are released because
they are never paid for?

If this is better directed to a different list, let me know.

According to their financial records
(http://netsol.com/ir/filings/1998.1-10Q.htm)
approximately 30% of the registered domains are never paid for.

What do spammers and nails have in common? They're both intended for
hammering.
