It is possibly the biggest decline a gtld has ever seen. As a comparison .biz dropped 9% after the anniversary, .info the same 9% - that was from the very high to the very low. Both those extensions have been flops, especially .biz. .mobi has already exceed those levels and there is still quite alot to be worked through the systems by the sounds of it. In terms of significance a 9% in registration is huge, even during the .com bust .com registration only fell 5%, but actual values in the aftermarket fell by about 90%. When a market implodes it is followed by a much smaller fall in registrations, they are rather "sticky", some people hang on for years before being willing to let names expire. 9.5% is not a good result.
