What I observed on a local level was connectivity providers that were once hit 
by DNS attacks, whether those attacks could be mitigated by DNSSEC or not, to 
rush into deploying DNSSEC. So besides profit margins, potential liability 
costs (like "I was trying to use my Internet Banking and was defrauded") are 
also economic incentives to deploy DNSSEC-validating resolvers. 

Talking to connectivity providers indicated they would see more value in DNSSEC 
if both more domains and the most used domains were DNSSEC-signed. We addressed 
the first part and are coming close to half a million DNSSEC domains in .br 
(without offering bri^H^H^Hincentives to sales channels), but most Top-N sites 
are still not signed with DNSSEC, so they still have an excuse. That 
contradicts a cost-based view of the issue, as having more DNSSEC-signed 
popular domains will only lead to more support calls with resolution issues, so 
either they won't do it either way, or they are indeed acting on a value-based 
view of the issue.
