Seems to be a lot of money grabbing going on recently with .xxx and the new GTLDS.
If this is seriously a problem (which I honestly feel it isn't, considering we have gov.uk, nhs.uk, and sch.uk to name a few so .co.uk seems well places for companies within the uk) then why not just allow them to come in tandem? so when you purchase a .co.uk you automatically get the .uk variant as well included in the price.
Controlling a GTLD seems like a really good idea at the moment considering you can effectively just create a market for yourself based on other peoples desired to protect there brand. If you care about your brand your going to have to stump up another yearly registration fee when someones else decides to sell your brand name variant under there GTLD to the highest bidder
