Let's assume that the DNS namespace IS a "public good", operated as a
public trust. How does it compare to the frequency of a particular band on
the radio spectrum? The government (the FCC) assigns EXCLUSIVE licenses to
FOR PROFIT business entities  who want to use the "public good" so they can
make money by transmitting television, telephone or radio signals. There's
really not much difference between the exclusive licensing of a particular
bandwith on the radio spectrum and the exclusive licensing of a particular
gTLD.
