I think the most compelling argument is jurisdiction. Right now everyone has ccTLDs but they are considered be basically the property of government which carries with it some complexity in certain parts of the world. If, on the other hand, I could have a privately run gTLD that resides in my legal jurisdiction, that might give me some advantage.

This is an interesting point.

As a way to start along this path, perhaps we could find out more about the motivations and experiences of those who chose continental TLDs (.eu, .africa, .asia) instead of local ccTLDs. I wonder if these registries would be supportive of such research?
