One interesting finding of the above analysis shows that under .com.tr there are 9800 zones and  5700 of them were accessible in this hostcount process. Among those 5700, no host was defined in 3341 domain and 2143 of zones have  between 2 to 5 hosts. This might be an indication that small organizations just reserve their domain names and maybe create a Web site. But, they do not prefer to connect their LANs to the Internet, rather they prefer to have account from ISPs and access to the Internet via dial-up connection.
