And why do you think that is?

  One factor, but not nearly enough to explain it all: Everyone who gets a .com will also get the .net and often the .org, whoever someone who gets a .net (for a online community, a blog, ect) will not always get the .com?

  These aren't registrations; these are hostnames in use. For some reason -- perhaps just traditions -- it's especially common for bulk service providers to assign individual machine/address subdomains from .NET rather than .COM. Indeed: I'm using a Comcast cable modem, and you reach Comcast's web page at comcast.com -- but my dynamic IP reverse-resolves to a comcast.net subdomain, and is obviously one of many thousands from its formulaic construction (including within it the IP address and region hints).

    If this is 'hosts in use' then discrepancy comes from security concerns. The majority of computers in *.com concerns will be behind firewall and not have publicly exposed names. The .net orgs are more likely to let it all hang out.
