There are two (and prop. more) different Googles:
The ones that care, and the ones that make marketing!

This appears unsubstantiated. Why, exactly, do you hate gTLD?
Because it grates against the implied purpose of the inclusiveness of the internet. Every company registering these new TLD's keep all the good ones for themselves or in googles case they just keep the whole thing. The means for the majority of internet users to access this kind of land rush just dont exist.
1. Make up a word that doesn't exist yet (verify with Google).
2. Start a company with that name.
3. Grow it big enough.
4. Claim your TLD.
5. PROFIT!!!!!The Macro.
The Keyword.

And Google's either kept or tried keeping like 20 gTLDs to themselves. Look for Charleston Road Registry, a Google shell corp, on this list: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/base-agreement-c... cal, dev, drive, play, and prod are all ones I think the open Internet would've liked a chance at.

Here's a plan: 1. Make up a word that doesn't exist yet (verify with Google). 2. Start a company with that name. 3. Grow it big enough. 4. Claim your TLD. 5. PROFIT!!!!!
The Intercept. The Macro. The Keyword.
The Grammar.
The Exception.

I guess it just depends on who you think ICANN represents and who has the default implied ownership of domains, I would like to think they are a public asset, its like radio space do you think the gov should sell life time ownership of the transmission spectrum?
There is no such thing as "default implied ownership", you can propose anything to ICANN.

I'm slightly disappointed they haven't set up http://google.blog yet. https://get.blog/
If Google buys it, they'll probably just buy it to squat it, rather than use it. They're probably butthurt they lost out on the .blog gTLD. Google wanted to make it a completely walled garden TLD only for Blogger users. And Google cost us the option of having a .dev gTLD, that's for Google's use only. "Let's not forget, the Californian goliath had tried to bag .blog, which it intended to pair with its Blogger service…
And they lost to Wordpress, who did exactly that.
