I don't agree.  Non-competitive systems tend to lead to higher prices
and costs, and less efficiency.

The domain industry is just that, an industry.  It needs to be guided
by the same types of influences other businesses do, and that includes
competitive forces.

With out the competitive factor, there is no driving force for
innovation and development that lead to lower costs and thus lower
prices, and other factors.
