This is very very premature. ICANN has not even approved any new TLDs
yet. Once ICANN decides what the new TLDs will be and how they will
be run, then everyone will have a better picture.
The site you quoted misrepresents themselves so much, its not even
worth taking them seriously. They are ripping people off, plain and
simple. They are not even a registrar. They are hosted by
Interland.net, and the IP blocks their servers reside in have not been
SWIPEd. Their own domain name was only registered a couple
months ago via Dotster.com. Their mail server (mail.regland.com)
reverses as what looks like a pornographic domain name (which is
registered with bulkregister.com, but has no nameservers). They claim
to "have ultra-high-speed OC Sonnet fiber connections (6GB/Sec) to the
domain registrar's sites." Looking at their traceroute, this appears
to be highly unlikely <snicker>. "Our operating agreement with the
registrars ensures that our requests take precedence to any other
orders and will be filled in the order they are received." And then
this, "RegLand is a provider of domain names to the Internet
community. Providing such services as pre-domain name registration,
RegLand today serves over 20-domain registers worldwide with the help
of a dedicated team development across the Internet."
They sure are accomplished for a company
I pity the poor victims of this scam.
