>as national domains are abandoned
There were articles about a month ago asking why dotUS domains were so out of favor. For about 4 years now, I have been the registrant for about 45 3rd-level dotUS city names and the only thing that makes them even remotely worthwhile is the fact that we gave them different IP numbers. US sites have already abandoned our national designation.

>dot-com registrations will explode as national domains are abandoned and AV will find itself back at square 1 again.
I could make the argument that AV plans to use this as a sort process outside their algorithm. English sites end up getting back in under their dotcom, distinctly national sites stay in the proper locale.
