The most important benefit I know is the Search Engine Benefits. Search engines give more importance to search ranking of a site which has has the TLD of the searchers country. For example, if the user is searching for "widgets" in search engine then SE definitely gives "widgets.co.uk" more importance than other websites which has same products and also .com or other TLD.

It is considered to be end Series of the Domains Name.IANA has divided them into three types -

a) country code top-level domains (In respect to Country / Territory)
b) generic top-level domains (In respect to Organizations)
c) infrastructure top-level domains (Root / arpa)

These are classified in accordance to their respective significance.
