Alternative stores aren't likely to go away, not just because of certain countries, but because of certain devices.
Most tablets are not Google approved and won't have the Android Market. For example, If you want to be on the Barnes and Noble Color Nook, you should probably be in the Barnes and Noble store. Yes, there are ways to hack the Android Market onto devices, and there are web based stores, but most users will probably use whatever store is on their device. I see these challenges with feeding multiple stores: 1. Keeping the app in sync. 2. Keeping the app details in sync. 3. Implementing licensing/security for each of the stores. I don't know about the rest of you, but I see #3 as one of the biggest challenges. It seems you would have to have licensing code for all the options in one binary, or different versions for each store/licensing system.
