      I think your analysis is sound. .WEB will be merely a synonym for .NET, which has the advantage that many people know about it already. So why have a .WEB if you can have a .NET? You won't! And there is lots and lots of names still in .NET. I would predict that for this reason (apart from registrations of two and three letter names for speculation, 97% [or so] of which will not be in the air, like in .com) not many will get a .WEB, except names like news.web, open.web, love.web. So .NET would be more wanted still even after Yokohama.
.ORG may be less attractive for business, though you can get really good names there still. Well, names I think are good. (And English is not my native language, as you will have gathered already.) How about

OUST.ORG

I got it today.
This brings me down to what I wrote here before: Why new gTLDs? We don't need them.
