Huh?
.com etc. have been international, from the beginning.
Who, do you think, can say a US or JP corporate which want to
attract customers worldwide is NOT international?
If you think domain names under TLDs scarese, you should better try
to charge annurally $15000 for domain names directly under TLDs and
for ones indirectly under ccTLDs $15.
