Do you think .co domains would be one of the TLD in coming days?

It is a TLD; a ccTLD (country code TLD). It will never become a gTLD (generic TLD) though. Clearly, by its cost, it shows the Colombian government can't afford to stand up to modern day gTLD prices of $10, so I doubt it can pay ICANN the supposed $185,000.

Also, it's too much like the .com, thus losing a lot of traffic and revenue for those sites that may use the .co extension.
 
One of my friend was saying all most all the combination of LLL has gone.

There are plenty of .LLL combinations left: .bit, .bis, .art, .arc, are some examples off the top of my head.

Oh, but most of them will be worthless if there is an active .com version of it. For example, if there is a pro.com and pro.co, people are going to think of the .com before the .co, so there would be a major loss of traffic for the .co.

Large sites should register the .co and the .cm. They are common misspellings of the .com extension, so it would gain them added traffic.

However, many people are used to typing .com since tons of major sites are .com

I think it is matter of time, in due course people will be know it.

I don't think it will take off. I can see many site owners being worried about the confusion with .com and therefore sticking with .com, .net, .org etc domains.
 
I have to agree, to me it just looks like someone forgot to put an "m" on the end or they were meaning to write .co.uk or something?

...although if it did go through then as someone already stated, it would be wise to grab the new domains in .co context as a bonus. 🙂
 
On that point only I have taken .co domain for my business as it has three letters only (LLL.co).

I like the shorter version domain for my business which more attractive and my email is also looks attractive like lll(at)lll.co

I hope .co become popular in coming years.

an example is forumpromotion

forumpromotion.com would buy forumpromotion.cm and forumpromotion.co to avoid misspelling.

However FP is on .net so it doesnt have to worry 😉

EDIT, I see that all three above examples go to the same place anyway, so someone else was thinking like I do.
