I think that the issue is narrowly defined in the ruling. Firstly, many jurisdictions do not accept incorporations or trademarks which include the .com (or any other tld) as an extension of a term.
Had they protected (if possible) internetnews, etc., as a trademark, it would have been another story. I don't think the issue is one of a .com domain holder's inability to seek redress against the .info registrant. Rather, trademark takes precedence if properly litigated.
I often wonder why trademark holders don't effectively use the bludgeon of a lawsuit, forgoing WIPO, as most registrants (let's say squatters
for arguments sake), certainly lack the resources to mount an effective defense ...
I agree with safesys, most trademark holders are probably confident in their ability to wrestle away the name if push comes to shove ...
