as for verisign, they are only contracted to manage .com. they dont own it and won't manage it forever. .web was in part defensive and in part an investment but since they have some 9 billion in the bank, its next to nothing to them.
i sell 10k worth of .com domains per week...do you sell 10k worth of .cam domains per week?

ICANN "owns DOMAIN strings" Delegates the string to a registry.
Domain Names commonly called "domains" are leasehold properties and owned by the registry by the authority of ICANN.
Registry Agreements are renewable in perpetually when there is no breach of the other conditions stated -- they are not fully renegotiated.
So wrong on the 1st count and wrong on the 2nd count? WTF ?
If you sell $10K a week good for you.
That does not change the fact that the big money is in the registry business -- how many registries do you own ? -0-
We are not even in Sunrise yet so that is not a fair question to ask.
Why get testy with me when you have absolutely nothing to gain?
Good luck. You sell $10K a week but how many do you buy or are you just selling for a commission? Principle or agent?
Ask me in a year what we are selling a year from now.
Wildcard delegations? LOL, ICANN would laugh you out of the room on that. String delegation is not DNS.
