600.000 or 900.000?

In yesterday's news: local national registrar DNS announces the fact that we have more than 600.000 Belgian websites online. Què? In april they announced to have crossed the 900.000 .be domains mark.

I'm not sure i see the relevance of counting active websites and calling them Belgian. It means we did not count Belgian .com or .eu or .org (etcetera) domains; nor that we see a difference between a 'kieskeurig.nl' and a 'kieskeurig.be' which were, originally, one and the same but Dutch, not Belgian.

It's nice-2-know info but I prefer the 900.000 domain names which might make, who knows, the One Million mark by the end of the year, if we all make an effort :-)

Btw: the Dutch counterpart SIDN claims 3485659 domains and counting.
