One criterion for registering a business is that you intend to conduct business under that name. There is no such criterion to register a domain name. A domain name per se carries no obligation whatsoever to actually conduct business, have a website etc. If you are aggrieved by the fact that your competitor isn't doing business as you think he should, that's not an issue with the domain name - that's an issue with the business name from which the domain is derived.
