I think the phenomenon of "that doesn't look right because it doesn't  
end in .com" is peculiar to the US.

Elsewhere, you don't need a particularly large TLD zone to get  
mindshare -- NZ, CA and NP are three random examples of ccTLDs which  
are well-recognised locally and which are far smaller than UK or DE;  
there are many more.
