So what’s our problem with the secondary market? There’s not enough of it!
So what to do? The purpose of a registry in the secondarymarket is to ensure maximum added-valuefor the entire zone. Thatmeans focus on: • Brand preference (campaignfor the thirdmillion!). • Distributingavailability. • Less focus on system capacity as a sourcefornames (grabbing).
