I have had no problems registering with Verisign and I don't like the idea of having to
re-register with some other organization, because some-one has a political problem with
Verisign. What's the difference between one monopoly over another? I mean, $30/year isn't
alot to bitch and complain about. Once again, "If it ain't broke don't fix it!"

Well, my solution to this, is that I am developing ISP services aimed specifically for the
noncommercial sector! I intend to role out the services in the new year. This is one of
the reason that I have joined this group and intend to be more actively involved with
ICANN.
