"The point is not to have ONE company own and control an extension (like .com) and all the domains in it." This has already happened. Afilias controls .info. Public Interest Registry controls .org. (Afilias actually runs the backend operations of .org for Public Interest Registry.) I operate a registrar and I pay money to both of them. When we call support (rare) the same people take the calls for both TLD's. I was around when this happened and .info was being floated and passed on an opportunity to invest in it.
