Thanks to smashfactory over at NamePros for bringing this to our attention:

2007 ended with a total base of just over 58 million ccTLD domain name registrations.  The ccTLDs as a whole experienced six percent growth quarter over quarter and 33 percent growth year over year. The largest ccTLDs saw moderate growth or slowing in the fourth quarter. For example, only eight of the top 20 largest ccTLDs increased the size of their base at a rate faster than then they did in the third quarter. Of those, the growth rate of only two grew at rates greater than one percentage point; .cn’s growth rate grew at just over six percentage points and .fr grew at just over one percentage point over the previous quarter…

There were pockets of impressive growth among the ccTLDs. For example, .cn, .ru (Russian Federation), .es (Spain) and .tv experienced double digit growth in the fourth quarter compared to the previous quarter. When viewed on an annual basis, four of the largest ccTLDs surpassed the 50 percent mark for year over year growth including .cn (399 percent), .ru (61 percent), .es (52 percent) and .tv (51 percent). Growth for these domain names was driven by a variety of factors. The .cn Registry continued its price promotion while .ru benefi ted from continued growth of its Internet industry and .es continued its growth triggered by liberalization of its registration requirements a few years ago. VeriSign, who manages the .tv domain name registry, conducted media outreach and promotions designed to establish .tv as the domain name for rich media content and capture the explosive growth of online video.
