But the reason there's no way to compete is due to whose root certs are
in the main browsers, not any other reason like branding or lack of it.
What are you guys smoking?
Stop saying Verisign has a monopoly unless you can show evidence of it.
There is a large number (~100) of trusted root CA certs in mozilla.
Some of the CAs there sell SSL server CA certs for WELL BELOW $100.
Several of them give away email certs for free.
mozilla has admited more new CA certs to the trusted list in 2004, than
in any year since the establishment of mozilla in 1998.
The criteria for "competing" are pretty well established.
Stop spreading FUD.
