It is possible that they register it so that no one else can pretend to be them. Some big companies basically register all the possible domain names through all the TLDs for that reason and that reason only.
Current stuff happening in Pakistan doesn't relaly help paypal thinking about adding them. I hope they add cause that will boost webmasters from Pakistan.
hey what about Afghanistan is PayPal banned there too? Is PayPal banned in all suspected terror funding states???
ya... i didnt checked that.. but heard sometime earlier that .com.pk owner is from a pakistan.. its the .pk one controled by paypal.
Personally, i do not think PayPal would be open their doors For Pakistan... And it not just because "Political" and "terrorism" problems... Since, countries such as "Saudi Arabia", "Qatar", "Bahrain", etc have Send Only "PayPal" support... and i strongly doubt any one in PK would like to use PayPal for send only purpose.
if ask me.. its more business issue as compared to politics or terrorism.. http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-approved-signup-countries-outside youll see lots of countries.. nigeria, srilanka etc etc.. dont tell me they are politically more stable than pk.. but pakistan.. its not in their list... anywhere at all..!
Well most of them know english and there native language! If they don't they never sign-up for paypal or care about the internet!
