New top level domains

Is this a good move, or will this only confuse the hell out of everybody? Canon has announced that it is planning to buy the .canon domain if and when it becomes available in 2011. This might become possible because ICANN (the corporation that assigns domain names) is planning to loosen the conventions on top level domains (TLD), which currently are quite severely limited to country domains and a few like .com, .net, .gov etc.
