Why should it?
I don't understand.

You may be right, new TLDs will not dramatically "solve problems", but they 
may improve things.
Right now, the "open" TLDs are all in the capable hands of a unique company. 
The introduction of (a limited number of) new TLDs will provide 
alternatives. We may have different business models, different level of 
protection of trademarks, different dispute resolution mechanism, and so on.
Why should this not be worthed trying? Innovation has been the keyword for 
Internet. Of course, it is normal for the innovators of yesterday to become 
conservative today. But other innovators will follow ;>)

Roberto
