Each day I awake and my conscious engages. As it does the fabric of my life begins. A large part of that fabric involves the aggregation of domains, hence Domain Aggregates.
I constantly ponder the choices of domains and attempt to hone my critical thought. Domain keywords have become a part of our vernacular landscape so domain cultivation/aggregation with any efficacy takes a knowledge of the melding of social networking and technology. (SociaTechnology.com) As I diverge. So those who choose the best "keyword" domains are in effect predicting the future, or more so..."reporting" on the future because the names are from a convergent of known fact.
Back to the title.
If the rest of the world individual country by individual country migrates to ccTLDs, does that diminish the value of a "dot com" or " .com " domain?
My conclusion is: NO
Logic would have it that the World is using two (2) character country codes eg. .es, .uk, .fr etc. - ccTLDs, so .us domains would be valuable. This doesn't seem to be the case.
Logic would then conclude that if you have a "dot com" or " .com " domain you in effect have the .us extension also since we don't use .us in any substantial way in the United States.
A downside is a company like IBM or Microsoft could/has afford(ed) to register all the IBM.uk, IBM.es, IBM.fr, etc domains of the 195 + recognized countries, and could then lobby to have the .com domain taken away to eliminate anyone who was able to secure a "competing" domain, but can't afford to register in the 195 country, nor may be allowed to.
The positive side of the .com (if you own one or choose to register one) is...there is only one dot com...there are 195 country codes. I'm pretty much sure that using 195 domain name extensions to reach your audience goes against the fabric of the Internet's design. On the other hand, it certainly provides that I can own DomainAggregates.com, but someone can also serve their local market from DomainAggregates.cc. If I choose to segregate content on a per country basis there are many means to do this none the least of which is using a sub-domain such as CountryName.DomainAggregates.com.
