I'm not opposed to Verisign registrar making a profit, if it offered a Drop Service that operated at the registrar level, similar to existing market participants such as Snapnames, eNom, NameWinner, etc. (I've sent a list in a prior message). My problem is leveraging the monopoly power of the registry, to enter a "new business", which puts existing market participants out of business (surely all existing market participants would not be able to continue in their business with the proposed regime, but would be forced to only resell WLS subscriptions, or exit the business entirely. That's anti-competitive, and removes opportunities for innovation. Sincerely, George Kirikos http://www.kirikos.com/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
