The "majority" of generic names have not been registered. There are slightly over 26,000 registrations, and quite a few of them are compound names. Regardless, there are hundreds of thousands of what you might consider "marketable" domains.
But I don't consider the marketability of a domain name above and beyond how well it relates to a web site. I don't speculate in domain names. Those who do, do so on their own business.
If IANA had not specifically asked us to make the registry operational in 1996, we'd still have a registry with 0 names registered. On the other hand, had they not asked us to make it operational, we would have never built it out, much less proven its abilities. In that case, I think we would have never been able to make the case that we knew what we were doing, and our pioneer status would be questionable, at best.
It's that 5+ years of operational status that prompted Dr. Cerf to state that he felt .Web should be reserved for us in the next round.
