Well let's hope the $50K price to own a TLD helps to suppress the typo squatters. But this new degree of freedom, while good in some regards, is going to lead to unforeseen problems that won't be solved for several years.
Not the least of which is the user-training problem. Users don't understand that websites don't have to start with www, and similarly many are going to be tacking a .com on the end of URLs that don't end in .com for years to come.
