I disagree - there are are some out there who want domain names for their
original intended purpose.
The new TLDs may hopefully give them a chance to acquire something more
relevant than "MyBlueSocks.com"

Graeme Levin
Owner of over 300 domain names.
Practical experience in acquiring, registering and transferring domain
names.

My principles:
Opposed to the introduction of additional top level extensions for domain
names because owners of valuable names will simply acquire the new versions
of their names. Spread of ownership will not be increased.
And if they are beaten to the post, the main effects will be confusion in
the marketplace and possible dilution of the benefits that should accrue to
those with foresight.

You can't duplicate Manhattan simply because not everyone owns the valuable
properties.
