 Why do you keep ignoring the existence of ccTLD's in Europe?
What on $DEITY's green earth makes you think that I'm ignoring the existence of ccTLDs in Europe?!?

I have been talking about nothing *but* ccTLDs in Europe, and how this flat namespace model will not continue to scale.

 Plus the fact that a generic, worldwide and *flat* TLD like
 .com still hasn't grown such as to become unmanageable?
It has grown to the point where it is not manageable. It was unmanageable a long time ago, and things have been going further down the toilet ever since.

And you're going to have a problem that will be an order of magnitude larger than .com.
