So, ie7 up 3% from last month.

My ru traffic @ ND is up by 0.9%

Graph shows IE6 peaked at about 6 million users, and IE7 is approaching 3 million.
That's not a huge way to go if we are counting on strict user numbers for typeins etc.
Sure hope traffic does not just "double" when we get back to max levels. Russian traffic still
needs to go up 100x - 500x to reach same proportional percentages of ascii .com terms.

There was never any assumption that this was going to be a linear relationship. We didn't attend the Crawford School of Economics, mind you we didn't get kicked back the University of Texas either. :p

I think consumer awareness will be the most important factor. IE7 critical mass will be the beginning but not the catalyst imho as far as traffic is concerned.

It will be a slow and steady rise. Give time to big corps to spend some big bucks on idn development and market-pounding before you see major traffic.

Won't be long now. Just 3-4 years ahead.

I agree that it may take 3 years for thing to fully kick in, but speculators will start to move on much less evidence than that. Give us 10x the Russian experience all the way around and we won't be looking at the Secondary Market at all, except for bargains. Any one thinks they can leave it a couple of years before doing something about sorting out their portfolio has their head wedged up their arse. The window of opportunity is months if not weeks.

Yes, I have said this same thing several times before. Having IE7 doesn't mean that you know you can type IDNs. The climb will be slow and steady, as we are already witnessing.

I think this chart is slightly more important, as it shows that IE6, the only browser that doesn't support IDNs, is on its way out.

IE6 is not yet in its death lunge, but it is clear from the Green Line that MS does have the power to push IE7 when it wants to!

Once Yandex moves to a Cyrillic domain name, we'll be away laughing.

Well I have to say their Logo looks kinda Cyrillic to me! :p

Looking even better now. IE7 is really picking up and Opera Mini seems to have got out the blocks as well.

[jose]

Nice Opera 9 stats!!!

Interesting to me that the Russians have started to embrace IDNs more than any other culture at this time. The type-in traffic has doubled for me in the past month. Not sure if it's domainers or actual real people ;)
