Situation for these can be tenuous and really depends on aggressive marketing.. eventually I think the ccTLD's will pan out as the end user starts looking for other alternatives to those already regged. Problem is, many potential end users are completely unaware other options even exist.

I think that the alternatives are just too small at the moment, but after a few years i think that they will shine. They also need to bring the cost of registration down to match the .com and .net

As far as lowering the registration costs, truthfully, for some of these smaller countries, things like domain registrations and postage/coin sales comprise a large part of their export economy. Many need the money they make from these sales...
