New TLDs have been discussed now for over a decade.  Press (both technical and popular) on ICANN activities have 
ratcheted up significantly recently, particularly with the approval of .XXX (which was recently discussed here on 
NANOG: http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2011-March/034488.html). Not blaming/accusing, just surprised this 
would be a surprise. I guess I've been living in the layer9 cloud too long....
