.net is the second most popular TLD. You're probably correct about the type in traffic of a .net being pretty low. But type in traffic isnt the only consideration. If you grab a .net when a .com is taken, then you are dilluting the "branding" of the .com, and lowering its value. This is why many people hoping to develop websites on a .com grab other TLDs as well.
