There are two possabilities. Either people who want to run new tlds
want to do sosoly to make money, or they do not.

If they are prevented from every being able to run tlds, then
it is very easy to say "see, we stopped those bad people" and
you have, in effect, a self fulfullng prophecy and the current
monoply makes one company more wealthy.

If on the other hand, new tlds are not being run solely to
make egregious profits (and frankly, given there are more than
50 or so, no regisry should make a huge amount of money, the
registrar business is much more lucritive) then by preventing
them from exising, you have caused, a priori, a massive injustice.

How can you be so sure you are right ?
