There are now over 1,000 top-level domains

[Arpit131]

The number of top-level domains on the internet has topped 1,000 for the first time.

The delegation of seven new gTLDs today — .studio, .live, .jprs, .game, .bcn, .barcelona and .airtel — took the total number of TLDs in the DNS root zone to 1,002.

• 693 are new gTLDs from the 2012 application round.
• 286 are ccTLDs.
• 15 are gTLDs delegated by ICANN in earlier rounds.
• Eight are the original gTLDs created in the 1980s

However, I only see 10-15 of the new gTLDs succeeding.

How do you define "success" ?

However, I only see 10-15 of the new gTLDs succeeding.

I think that may be a little optimistic. But only time will tell...right?

Exactly. That is a bit too optimistic. But when I look at number of registrations in .xyz, and paid registrations in .Club etc. I get my hopes high.
