Most new gTLDs will be closed
In our previous article, we talked about the fact that the introduction of new top-level domains will not have a strong impact on the Internet due to the large number of domains with closed registration.
Today, the results of a survey of all applicants for new top-level domains, which confirmed our assumptions, were published.
It turned out that 47% of all applications for new gTLDs (912 of 1930) are applications for closed domains, i.e. their owners will not open free registration of second-level domains in their zones.

Closed domains are: 1) domains, brands and domains of general importance, the right to register in which will have only one company or a small group of companies. 2) domains such as .gov, in which registration will be available only to a group of institutions subordinate to the government.
Zones for registering a domain in which you need to be a member of a certain community or to fulfill any requirements put forth by its owner are not considered closed domains.
132 out of 912 applications have competitors applying for the same domain. According to preliminary estimates, from 795 to 881 closed domains will eventually be registered, which in any case will be the majority of all new gTLDs: the number of open domain zones can be from 528 to 614 domains. Cases of possible withdrawal of the application or refusal of registration for one reason or another were not taken into account.
