They didn't ask for anything within com.na yet. If they did they's
face the same rejection that other leading brands without local
presence have had. 

Interesting enough, so far I have dealt with many trademark lawyers
(acting on behalf) and with a few big companies directly.

The big companies are usually quite reasonable once I lay it out for
them.

The laywers are usually not. 

With regards to the outlay to register in each TLD we can do roughly
250 * 35$.

BTW: If McDonalds and/or Wendy's had local outlets, I'd negotiate a
deal involving the occasional compelentary burger :-)-O
