How can you call a ccTLD crap? It all depends on the usage. ccTLDs are perfect for local related websites, but not for random crap like LLLs and etc.
Easy. By experience in domaining. Just by looking at how many sales a ccTLD has had & the value of those sales. Are you telling me that extentions like .ie, .tc are not crap ccTLDs? Here are all the reported .am sales ever: Flowers am $500 Jan 08 Sedo Auction 1 7 N N http://Flowers.am Sedo Audio am $160 Dec 07 Sedo Auction 1 5 N N http://Audio.am Sedo Law am $950 Feb 07 Afternic 1 3 N N http://Law.am Afternic Now, tell me, is that a successful ccTLD?
