Andre;
I was wondering if anybody has written a documentation that examines
the usability of national domain names and provides advice on what
approaches are actually useable.
It highly depends on locale that generic document is harmful.
For example, I recently had a
discussion
with some people on the .us domain on how unusable it is due to the
length
of the domain names - myco.mytown.mystate.us. How about having .com.us,
Try to use <zip-code>.us.
.edu.us, and accepting that anything without a country extension is
should
now be reserved for international use, contrary to what the original
RFC
said on the use of the .com, .edu, .gov domain names.
Huh?
.com etc. have been international, from the beginning.
Who, do you think, can say a US or JP corporate which want to
attract customers worldwide is NOT international?
If you think domain names under TLDs scarese, you should better try
to charge annurally $15000 for domain names directly under TLDs and
for ones indirectly under ccTLDs $15.
