This is quite interesting... They has 100k domains after sunrise, which was for trademark owners. It was widely reported that a huge % of this was defensive.

Then came land rush, for industry people only.

Then GA, which caused by far most of the registrations post sunrise according to those numbers. Clear sign the domains are not bought by the industry but by domainers. We were already contacted regarding selling us typo domains in .xxx that people picked up. Great success for the stld. I wonder how many GOOD sites will actually come out of this....
