This is, it seems, nonsense.

In fact, using stub zones, you can easily incorporate individual 
TLDs from, say, new.net on your own name server, without having to 
buy all the other domains floating around in such a root.  Also, it 
would be interesting to see how a ccTLD operator should prevent the 
ICANN root from pointing to the new servers.
