All ccTLDs are owned by the country and managed by a main organization making sure that the DNS and accessibility of the domains is functioning properly. This should not be a major concern on anyone's mind. As for pricing, the market will set them. The .me domains just went on sale and they are going for $19.99 a domain/year and GoDaddy moved so many, so fast in one day they had to deal with accidental duplicate purchases. As for the TLD pricing, that is also up to the market and an ICANN fee. ICANN of course wants to cover their expenses during the application process but they are also going to place popular TLDs up for auction.

I develop a site to find available domain names (domainnamesoup.com) and it's going to create all sorts of problems. How are they going to control who looks after the new TLDs and the whois entries. What's to stop them charging extortionate prices? I agree. I develop a site to find available domain names (domainnamesoup.com) and it’s going to create all sorts of problems.
