<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I've been studying African cctld for many years. My question is primarily posed to my African ISOC colleagues... </div><div><br></div><div>The cost of registering an African cctld in Uganda / Nigeria / Ghana / Botswana / Angola, etc appears to remain totally out of kilter with the global market rates. To buy a .ke for a local is around USD5, but for a foreigner it's >USD17 and they appear to be one of the cheapest. </div><div><br></div><div>In South Africa a domain goes for less than USD5, and they are available globally at the same price. We have over 1.2m registrations... significantly more than any other African cctld... </div><div><br></div><div>How can I encourage our clients to buy African cctlds when there is so much more to chose from nowadays? </div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Alan</div><div><br></div><div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Alan Levin</span><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">----------------------------------</span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Chairman ISOC-ZA</span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">+27 21 4882820 (ddi)</span><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div></div></div>
