99 Million .com domains registered by the end of the year.

As of today, there were 96,853,495 .com domains registered.

In the last month and a half, the registration rate has averaged 17,648 domains per day.  At the current rate, more than 99,000,000 domains will be registered by year end.

So we probably won't hit 100,000,000 by year end, but registration rates remain strong.
