How long before .PH domain names’ values / worth go up?

Everyone anticipates ccTLDs to rule the world, as most good TLDs are already taken. Now this has happened to domain names like .CO.UK or .DE, but when is the same going to be said to others? To be more specific, the .PH Domain names. I’ve invested heavily into the .PH domain names, and the question is really “How long before .PH domain names’ values or worth would go up?”

.PH Domain Names have so many premium generic domain names available, despite the fact that a huge amount have been snapped up by domainers. Looking at the level that it is at, the premium generic .PH are probably worth at around $XXX, depending on the traffic that it is getting.

Like other domain name extensions, the only way for a domain name extension’s value to really rise is when lots of Web developments actually push it thru. I have listed some of the notable website development that are carrying the whole PH domain name right now.

– My own Speculation… –

So basically before we actually see growth of the values of .PH, we’ll need to see web developments actually happening. I’m *purely speculating* (with my own theory) that with the elections coming in 2010 and lots of internet and online marketing by politicians, awareness will be made in the country. By 2011 – 2013, there would be loads of web startups and companies that will be developing .PH further. Most of the Premium Generic domain names are being registered. By 2014 – 2015, Registration fees for .PH should’ve dropped to a normal .COM price ($7 / year) and all premium generic domain names taken and its values of .PH in the domain name aftermarket would’ve gone up to a good $XX,XXX values. Now this is *purely speculating that web development will take off* and that the opening of TLDs will not affect ccTLDs in Search Engines.

I’m looking at 6 years before .PH really can sell at a good rate (that’s domain name only without development). But I could be wrong especially that situations and things could change. The only way right now to increase the value of you .PH quicker is by developing it and getting many Unique visits thru it, then it could really be profitable, otherwise we all got to wait and spend for the renewal fees.
