"Beginning in late June and ending in late July, Afilias will offer a 30 day "sunrise" period during which anyone with a registered national trademark can apply through a registrar for a .info domain name corresponding to the trademark."

So, the info-domain will be restricted to registered trade marks. That should limit its use very considerably.

[Added, having read some more] But after the sunrise period, everything is free for everybody and during the start-up phase there will be a lottery type system in effect until the end of August.
