According to this thread at Namepros, 43,492 NNNNN.pro have been registered by a Cyprus-based company.
It appears they are being used for local/zip code domains, see 60615.pro for an example of a Chicago zip code domain.
I guess since Marchex (Nasdaq: MCHX) owns the .com and .net for nearly every US zip code, anybody wanting to make a US zip code domain must look to other extensions, I am curious why they chose .pro.
I will try to contact the company and see how the zip code domains are doing and whether they intend to renew them.
