Roger,
Your assuming that TLD's are created to make the internet easier to
access. Totally disagree. TLD's should be created to give domain
registrants a CHOICE so that THEY can DECIDE what name THEY want to
CHOOSE to interface with prospective or existing customers, family,
friends etc. What TLD it (the domain) lives in has little baring on the
accessibility of the internet.
My 85 year old grandmother who is a fantastic web user has no clue
regarding difference between TLD's...Heck she shouldn't...but she sure
does know how to google!! ;)
Cheers,
James

I see a very obvious one: because it makes the Internet easier to
access.
You seem to think the domain-holder is the consumer for whom things
should be made easiest.
I disagree -- the domain-ACCESSOR is the person who we should be
considering.
Companies should be in .COM because that's where consumers will look for
them. Individuals should be in .NAME because that's where associates
will look for them.
Otherwise, we could just call them .1, .2, .3, and so on.
