droplister said:.eu, i guess europe is going to promote it heavily, it will be like their .com
I didnt mean premium generic terms, .eu in general is more what i meant. You can argue that all the premium .coms are taken, but people still register.com after .com. Domainers are just mad because they cant get a good .eu for registration fee, oh well, there are still plenty of europeans and small businesses that can register .eu for themselves. And i think that .eu will only help the other european cctlds.J2theIZZO said:I don't agree with that, there are too many speculators gathering iffy TM's and taking every premium name in sight, come landrush there will be little/no decent names available and .eu won't be held by anyone but domain speculators.
For this reason the takeup and useage of .eu will be slow and painful, I still think the respective and already established ccTLD's for each country within the EU will be favoured by the masses.
The implentation of .eu by EurID hasn't been too good IMO.

A company registers domain.eu, and then goes on to register .de .co.uk .es .fr all those to protect their brand.
This is not a "lets go back and forth and see who gets the last word" so this will be my last response to any argument.

There is no such thing as an European identity.
