| the reason .us is slow to catch on in the US is because when the internet rolled out there years ago, everybody was buying .com's for websites. So .com caught on first and all the good stuff has been bought up.
.us is an example of a country code slow to be adopted. Look at .de, .co.uk, .cn, .es, .ca and so on. Country code domains do very well in many countries, and I think that will continue to be the case.
Now, move over to India where internet penetration is low now but climbing fast. The .com names people would want over there are long gone now, held by domainers or developed into sites. The .in and .co.in are what will be used the most over there, so there will be a market for it. Not .com prices, but definitely opportunities to make good profits. It will be the same situation .ca is in Canada, or better.
I agree if buyouts start to happen for LLLL.org and LLLLL.com then it's a bit past my understanding. I can see reasoning in a LLL.co.in and NNN.co.in buyout because of how few of these domains there are, and India's population/economic growth.
