I can just see the ethos capital whiteboard:
1. Dot org
2. Dot net
3. Dot com
4. The world!
Dot org will only be the testing ground and only the beginning if they pull it off.
- SXX 7y agoDot com and net will be operated by Verisign at least until 2024 so it's unlikely to happen.
- jsjohnst 7y ago> at least until 2024 That’s barely over 4 years away.
- SXX 7y agoI guess after .org scandal it's will be much harder for ICANN to take control away from Verisign under guise of some anti-monopolistic practices. On other hand they already make tons of money from control of their domain zones and since they are public company they'll less likely try to pull of something ugly.
- foobiekr 7y agoIf they tried it tomorrow, yes. If they wait four years everyone will have forgotten.
- ohashi 7y agoVeriSign wants price caps removed like .ORG managed. They are salivating. Their fingerprints were all over removing price caps for .ORG. Those same lobbyists are still involved now at ICANN in the groups, subverting the public interest. I wrote about it originally here when I made a case for ICANN being captured: https://reviewsignal.com/blog/2019/06/24/the-case-for-regulatory-capture-at-icann/ https://reviewsignal.com/blog/2019/06/24/the-case-for-regula...
