Personally I think we'll see a lot of curret 0.0 conflict die down whilst alliances try and land grab. My money is on someone after a few weeks hiring the MC to escort and egg or two out into the badlands.
Noooooo!! Hire us to keep the area CLEAN!! We'll cook all the eggs before they hatch!! No more egg-warming! MUHAHAHAHA!!! 
Seriously.

might be nice if they was connected to all of the 0.0 regions but it might be to much chaos
I think the new regions should REQUIRE you to use a Jump Drive to reach them! You want in? You'd best get the Carriers and Dreads ready to move some indys and mining barges.
THAT's a new frontier, folks!

there could be 4-5 preset spacebeacons (permanent npc cyno fields) if they wanted to do it this way, which would be alot of fun since it would require motherships, dreads & titans to colonize the new region -> clonejumping + transporting ships and stuff to make pos -> eggs -> new empire. Once done an npc empire could build a few stargates and connect the old space with the new one.
Hell that would be alot of fun but i guess it wont be the way it goes.
TBH, this is exactly what I had in mind. There could be a few semi-permanent cynos in place that would be the springboard for colonization. CCP has stated that actual player-made gate construction is a feature that will happen "eventually". If you check out the current planned features, the "Linked POS's" are another option for travel to the new regions.
Also, if jump drives were the only way to get into the area first, just imagine the absolute carnage that would ensue from people trying to establish the first foothold in the area!
Yeah, it would be kind of restrictive at first, but it would force people who really wanted to do something new and different to really work for it. I like content that forces players to get inventive and be original. Opening up eight new regions that are bascially just more space seems like a wasted oppertunity to me.

CCP will have to RP the new regions somehow. Why not with 'unexplained spatial phenomena' in the form of neutral cyno fields? You're right though, it would ensure that only the most powerful alliances could jump through.
Why so? Carriers have excellent jump range and are well within the financial reach of a large percentage of the EVE population. Assuming CCP implements the "POS Linking" feature, it would not be that hard to set up a small base inside the new regions and start moving people and equipment through.
The challange, of course, would be staying alive against the competions but since when is THAT new in EVE? 
Quote:
Perhaps make the cyno fields move about each DT? would prevent 24/7 camping.
Yup. Or make them completely random after downtime. As I said, it would be VERY interesting to see how things developed.
The more I think about this, the more dissapointed I'll be if they just open these new regions up with no special plot twist.

oooo damnit, I have an idea...
Make the jump one-way for a month.
Like the whole wormhole that collapsed thing! And the people who go to the new regions are cut off for like the next three months forcing them to really build up from NOTHING.
Damn. That's harsh. It's freakin' awesome tho TBH.

Not to be an ass or anything, but why would someone QUIT over this? Heck, if some of the bigger alliances moved to the new regions to go WTFPWN each other it would just mean more oppertunity for those left behind to WTFPWN each other over the regions left behind.
WTFPWNAGE for all!! \o/
I don't see the problem here tbh.

Uhm, if you are gonna force people to jump to the new region to start out there, how are they meant to get outpost eggs out there?
I guess that would depend on how big a ship you could move through a "Twined Jump Array" on a POS?
