Let's not get confused.
He probably referrs to the opportunity to register some prime domains in the new .tlds.
basically, Pepsi may pay that $100-$500k or whatever to get their own .PEPSI registry.
then they will just create a "www" domain meaning their adress will be
www.www.pepsi.
Obviously they'll abandon the original "www" and brand themselfes as
www.pepsi
However, in my opinion this would be pointless, so that won't happen anytime soon. (if ever).
but obviously some companies will try to get .sex, .music or .hotels domains and then there might be some opportunities for the small webmaster/domainer to secure some good domains in these new tld's. But I think the best domains in all the new TLD's will be auctioned anyway, so the small guy won't get anything good. If someone pays $100k-500k to ICANN to run a .whatever registry, he won't just let you buy the best domains for registration fee.
Actually this is a huge potential business. I won't do it on my own, but I'd be open to work with someone and open our own domain registry. Anyone interested?
