This will make phishing a whole lot easier. 2. It's bad for usability. Humans have come to learn that .com (and its ilk) signifies a website address. With now unlimited TLDs the only way to identify a domain is by a solitary dot, if that. 3. It will probably break stuff. Many a software / regular expression out there assume that domains will end in a relatively small list of TLDs. The new domains will not work with this type of software. 4. There is no benefit. The benefits listed on this page http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about/benefits-risks http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about/benefits-risks all equate to selling more Internet real estate and profiteering for the sake of profiteering. ICANN is abusing its power.
