From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
top-level domain          The last and most significant component of an       {Internet} {fully qualified domain name}, the part after the       last ".".   For example, {host} wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk is in       top-level domain "uk" (for United Kingdom).          Every other country has its own top-level domain, including       ".us" for the U.S.A.   Within the .us domain, there are       subdomains for the fifty states, each generally with a name       identical to the state's postal abbreviation.   These are       rarely used however.   Within the .uk domain, there is a .ac.uk       subdomain for academic sites and a .co.uk domain for       commercial ones.   Other top-level domains may be divided up in       similar ways.          In the US and some other countries, the following top-level       domains are used much more widely than the country code:          .com - commercial bodies       .edu - educational institutions       .gov - U. S. government       .mil - U. S. armed services       .net - network operators       .org - other organisations          Since the rapid commercialisation of the Internet in the 1990s       the ".com" domain has become particularly heavily populated       with every company trying to register its company name as a       subdomain of .com, e.g. "netscape.com" so as to make it easy       for customers to guess or remember the {URL} of the comany's       {home page}.          United Nations entities use the domain names of the countries       where they are located.   The UN headquarters facility in New       York City, for example, is un.org.          Several new top-level domains are about to be added (Oct       1997):       .nom   - individual people       .rec   - recreational organisations       .firm   - businesses such as law, accounting, engineering       .store - commercial retail companies       .ent   - entertainment facilities and organisations          (1997-10-08)
