Recently I had to find the statistics of domain registration (top level) and world internet usage statistics for the past 5 years for a comparative analysis. I'm not a researcher or statistician but making it available for all who need it will help I guess. After searching on the internet for 3 days I got hold of some stats that I'm presenting below:Below is the number of top level domains registered between 2004 to 2008 (Nov 21). It will be helpful information to you that there are around 107 million domains now. Data source from http://registrarstats.com/Public/ZoneFileSurvey.aspx
Similarly the internet usage has also grown in the past years, the chart shows the growth:
Data source are many web pages from Internetworldstats.com.
You can get the comparison spreadsheet below:Domain Registration and Internet Use Stats in past 5 years (04-08)
Hope you find these statistics useful. You can use it in your presentation and add value to your presentation or report.

I own about 400 domains. About 15 are top level domains. One thing most people who collect domains don't realize is that some companies charge low rates at first, but then jack up the price on the 2nd year renewal. Or they don't know that they can switch Registrars. I register all mine domains at www.uSAVEdomains.com.
Their rates stay about the same each year, plus their hosting rates are only like $5 per month. Collecting domains is expensive, but if you get the right ones it can make you a lot of money.
