Well said! Other than government entities, I never understood why anyone 
would want a country specific name. Tellurian Networks provides the same 
services to our clients in AU as we do to those in DE and PK and those in 
the US of course (where we are located.) I don't want 200+ domain names and 
I don't think Cisco, Sun, Microsoft, or any other companies do either. When 
I look for a company, I don't care or need to know where they are located 
most of the time - unless I am ordering a pizza, but that is a different 
story... Communities of interest - such as my personal favorite 
356registry.org are global in scope and by their very nature! My $0.02 and 
contribution to the non operational noise on nanog today.
