I don't see a problem with some commercial element in public services, as long as it's reasonable and transparent. As long as the public mission is still satisfied, it's just a good way to reduce reliance on general taxation.

The amount of such services you can provide for DNS is quite limited anyway. Maybe you can guarantee higher QoS on response times where this is critical, but that's about it. Maybe they can make non-EU-based businesses pay to use it.
