      The US are the largest internet consumers/providers in the whole world. Therefore I still would recommend common TLD's like .com, .edu,  .org, .net, .mil, to remain into place, just because it would cost too much to make a change all over again.

On the other hand, it is ridiculous to have, e.g., a German based company to use the extension .com, 'cause if you would stumble over it, you never would guess where it is based. Therefore, except for the  US, I would propose the following standard, which has been implemented successfully in a number of countries:

.co.de - .com in Germany
.ac.de - .edu in Germany
.gv.de - .gov in Germany
.nt.de - .net in Germany

and so forth for other countries.

Just my 2 cents worth.
