Visit the Country-Code Top-Level Domain database at icann.org . Notice how Web sites originating in the United States do not have to append the

".us" root to the end of URLs. Which root names owned by these countries could be used for commercial purposes rather than differentiating country of origin? If you wanted to register a Web site ending in one of these country root names, what requirements do you have to meet? What country root names are already being offered through registrations sites like GoDaddy.com?
