End of Cyber-squatting? The gTLD Advantage

End of Cyber-squatting? The gTLD Advantage
http://www.circleid.com/posts/20110619_end_of_cyber_squatting_the_gtld_advantage/

In a post gTLD market, say in case of dot rice, why would some squatters register ibm.rice or google.rice? They may fancy ben.rice or uncle.rice to encroach on Uncle Ben’s rice brand. Dictionary based brand names like united.rice or national.rice will have their own issues. What would squatters achieve? What would holders and URDP do? In case of dot inn, some may try for holiday.inn or in case of dot airline, it would easy to try delta.airline or gluf.airline. Here the bigger question is why invest $500K and months to acquire dot airline? Where is the real monetization of such a root in the first place?
