The German market is an interesting one. It is one of the few where dot Com has been almost rejected in favour of a ccTLD and where IDN seem to have similar status to ASCII.
Not really sure what you mean by opportunity. With over 12 Million dot De registered already, it would seem to me that most of the major opportunities are long gone. It would seem to me that dot DE will provide good investment opportunities in the secondary market, much better than dot Com, as the prices are not yet highly inflated.
And before I accused of promoting dot DE or German IDN for my own benefit here. No, I don't have any of these!

Speaking of the UK, I've had the impression that .co.uk has been very popular with corporate domain owners over there as well. And China's .cn top-level domain has seen significant growth lately. |
