Hi Darren,
I will buy a lot. (for us and customers) we (here in Europ) see high potential in this
TLD. I think we are attracted to this TLD faster then for ex. someone from the USA.
If you think about it. I would not really invest in .US as such I think location
(where you are from) shows what kind of domain name you buy.
(intrest, proffesion etc... also plays a big role!)
Coming back to the .EU domain names. I think it will be a hit as there is a lot of internet activity here
