According to what some of the trademark experts have written, even if there
were more TLDs, they would not be sufficient to properly identify all
trademarked names in their appropriate contexts. So it seems to me
more of a technological limitation than a market structure failure.
However, I agree that the USG did not provide sufficient oversight in the
decision to grant NSI the right to charge for domain names.
