running with your assumptions for a minute, you are describing a market place that can go from 30M to 400M registrations in a matter of 60 months. Unlikely, but do you think this would bring in a ton of new competition for the rar's? You bet. I can think of 10 off the top of my head that want no part of such a market place evolution and, yes, these would likely be the top 10 in volume. It's called "protecting your place" and 2% participation to total is just fine, thank you. But, don't feel bad, rar's 11 through 150 obviously seem clueless about this concept from their constintuency brethren too.

"participate with the Internet by way of a second level domain name registration that makes sense and able to be pronounced"
The motivation for new gTLDs must be about more than this. It seems a frivilous improvement to change the letters after the dot (at great expense to the infrastructure and every trademark holder) instead of having new users participate by adding letters before the dot.
When a new gTLD proposal makes protecting existing trademarks free then I'll reconsider their motivations.
