Excerpted from applicant response to question #18 in TLD application:

The proposed TLD .بازار recalls the original mission of [[.com]], as spelled out in RFC 1591 by the late [[Jon Postel|Jonathan Postel]], to serve as an identifier for commercial entities. While the dearth of TLDs and the explosion of Internet derailed that original purpose and made .com synonymous with Internet presence, we hope that the semantic weight of .بازار and the opening up of TLD space will preserve the original focus of this TLD. We believe such a focus will endow added  value to this identifier in search engines, while most open gTLDs hardly serve any purpose in Internet search.
