"Tech press ignores expected next phase of ICANN's gTLD sales."
would be a more accurate title.
Like a public good, the dilution costs of issuing gTLDs is externalized and paid by everyone (other than ICANN).
ICANN has an exclusive license on this valuable virtual real estate, little accountability and a well demonstrated intention of making all the money they can.
Don't blame smart buyers who get in early - they're not the ones who created the situation.
