The big difference, though, is that those secondary market participants are: 1. Actually PAYING for the domain name: Verisign registry proposes they get EVERY unregistered domain name for FREE. 2. Subject to UDRP. By not registering the domains, Verisign registry isn't subject to UDRP. When you misdial a 1-800 number, does Neustar or your phone company play a jingle for your competitors?
