And .euro for the "Euro-Countries". SCNR

Well, the effort of the European Community to get the TLD .eu for Europe looks like the right way. On the first view...

General question:
If there are several new TLDs to show the (web-)site category will there be a use for country-dependant TLDs any more?

Points of interest:
- take a short look to the number of registered .us domains
- is the internet globally or country related?
- is the use of a country-dependant TLD a warranty for getting information in the country's language? No matter what service (HTTP, FTP, Mail ...) is provided by this domain?
- is HTTP the only service used on the internet? And should new TLDs be web-centric?
