The more this goes on, the more I'm convinced that non-national TLDs was a mistake.
One TLD for each country that their government can manage however they see fit, one TLD for international usage run directly by ICANN, and one reserved TLD for intranet usage. Then you could have the international TLD be implied if you leave it out of a URL.
But ofcourse, this is monday-morning quarterbacking.
So, is .Bike for motorcycles or bicycles?
