We’ve had these in the UK for years, as far as I know. .co.uk, .org.uk .nhs.uk for the National Health Service, .police.uk, .gov.uk, .ltd.uk for limited companies. I don’t see what the big deal is.
It’s not a huge deal, but there is some useful difference — in terms of a priori trust — between http://www.barclays.co.uk/, where co.uk is unmoderated, and http://www.barclays.bank.uk, where bank.uk is moderated by the relevant policy-making authority.
