It IS very much a money-making exercise for ICANN and for the registrars. 
The latter have to pay a fairly substantial amount to the former to register 
one of the new top-level domains, which they recoup by selling subdomains. 
Also a major headache for brand owners who now are forced to become 
registrars, in effect, to avoid that others register their names as 
top-level domains and then do strange things, e.g. shit.nestle.

Cheers,

Nathan
