verisign's board of directors all deserve raises lol - this is reminiscent of a big oil company pattern about to happen.
from where i sit the 2 biggest issues are: 1) the domain expirations and the lack of equality for all registrars to re-register a domain for its own customer. 2) the doubling of the fees to become an accredited registrar.
nonetheless, i still believe the little guy can flourish and compete. also, even doubling the fees to become an accredited registrar won't impede a driven business person from achieving the aforementioned goal. as more people get hip to the other 100's of registrars hopefully less domain expirations will happen on verisign's watch- other than that they have a nice cash cow over there for themselves.
