"Most of us use the ICANN ones, but others choose New.net's ..."
New.net? Can you name a known company using a New.net name? Even Idealab uses .net, and not .shop, .inc., or any of the other dumbass subdomains they hawk to sucker-speculators and squatters.

(You aren't seriously proposing that people should be prohibited from using gTLDs, are you?)
Maybe he wasn't, but I will.
I think that forcing all currently registered .com, .net, .org's, etc. to .com.us, .net.us, etc. would be a good idea.
Not only would it greatly simplify the global trademark problem,
and clearly deliniate the jurisdictional issues of domains,
It would also instantly clear a gigantic number of new domains for companies in other countries.
apple.com.uk vs. apple.com.us for example.
It need not happen all at once either,
there can be a transistion phase where .com refers to .com.us for a while,
and then .com could refer to .com.{cc of the country doing the lookup},
then finally disallowing all FQDN that do not end with dot-letter-letter.
It would probably reduce the number of bad DNS lookups that make it to the root server too.
I seriously doubt that it will come to pass,
but I do think the internet would be a better place if it did.
