Default New tlds arriving '09?

I bet some of you have known about this for ages but I haven't seen any discussions on it so far:

Major internet shake-up heralds new web addresses | Technology | guardian.co.uk

What does everyone think about the ramifications of such a shake-up? Good or bad?

I think the world has taken .com into its heart and it is now so standardised (in the same way .co.uk is in the UK) that it is part of our daily vocabulary ("why dont you go and log on to shut the hell up .com!?"). Will a load of new TLDs just mean more for joe public to remember? Would it make no sense to create new ones when we have enough already?
