So earlier today HBO announced a new HBONow streaming service (at an Apple 
event). The FQDN to order, which should have been DNSSEC-enabled, was 
order.hbonow.com. This unfortunately suffered from a rather inconveniently 
timed DNSSEC problem (http://dnsviz.net/d/order.hbonow.com/VP5DKQ/dnssec/). :-( 
Of course, these being hot Net Neutrality days in the U.S., we at Comcast were 
quickly blamed for blocking access to ordering this new service (despite 
failures at Google and other validators).

Had this persisted much longer, we might have considered a negative trust 
anchor of course, assuming we had direct contact with HBO on the matter 
(established after they fixed the issue & we flushed the cache). A good example 
of the sentiment was the tweet “Wow. I have Comcast and can't reach 
http://hbonow.com  unless I use a different network. #NetNeutrality ”. People 
tweeted to the FCC to alert them as well.

But two other I-Ds I wrote up did come in handy in some of my replies on social 
media:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-livingood-dnsop-auth-dnssec-mistakes-00
and
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-livingood-dnsop-dont-switch-resolvers-00

Which leads me simply to say that if there’s any interest in progressing these 
I-Ds in any way, let me know. Of course you may not find them useful until 
people yell at you for other people’s DNS errors. ;-)
