I feel this seems reasonable in an economically liberal context, but I would hope there's enough regulatory apparatus to ensure they can't do shenanigans as a result of their holdings. Also, I feel these kinds of things would ideally be managed by the state - in the same way that highways are? I mean, data is 'the commons' as a public sidewalk. I loathe to think some of our governing bodies are not up to the task, but, by gosh, they should be.
