So... How much happier were you when .info, .biz, or .name opened up? Why would the new TLDs be any more desirable? And, if they are, what stops squatters from snatching them up as they have done with the current set of domains?
As far as I can see, any change in the availability of "good names" is temporary. The long-term effects of new TLDs are (1) more money for ICANN, (2) more confusion on the part of the users as to whether a given piece of text is a domain name, and (3) more phishing sites.
