Should .US be run like public infrastructure? (8.Viewing)

Is .US weak because it was never marketed strongly enough?
Or is it limited because many buyers in the United States still default to .com without much thought?
And if .US became much more commercial, would that actually help end users, or mostly help sellers?

All countries should be run like a business and not a charity. In the real world you can't give to charity until your business gets profitable. Keep money at home instead of trying to run the world.

I believe .US had a confusing hierarchy for quite some time. Instead of company.us, you had to register company.state.us or company.city.state.us. You'll still occasionally find government orgs using them (i.e. school.k12.ny.us).
