What could be done is closer curation of TEDx events, rather than simply leasing out the name & format to whomever. This would decrease the number of TEDx events you could hold, and probably also make them more expensive to host- but maybe that could be a good thing.

I hope they try harder to audit the TEDx events. The main TED events are usually so inspiring, it's a shame to have it tarnished like this.
