I think Bill Landry's just-posted link answers that; VeriSign will reluctantly cooperate and suffer a major public relations black eye. Note how VeriSign's press release mischaracterized what has happened:
"...without so much as a hearing..." Despite the fact that VeriSign dumped this abomination on all Internet users without significant industry discussion or feedback. "...no data to indicate that the core operation of the Domain Name System or stability of the Internet has been adversely affected" Clearly untrue. While composing my previous message about VeriSign's arrogance, I silently wondered if they took their inspiration from a certain giant software vendor. Then I read in their press release where they actually claim the Site Finder fiasco promoted "innovation".
