It's actually highly reasonable for items with nearly zero marginal cost. In fact, most things in the tech world only get cheaper in nominal value as time progresses, barring peculiar circumstances.

This is correct. Verisign is not a registrar. While some of the problems do end up on Verisign's plate, almost all of the pain of dealing with fraud, domain transfer scams, etc, falls on the shoulders of the registrars, who get a pitiful cut of the domain registration fee compared to Verisign.
> And your assumption that no new services will be added is likely untrue.
Given the fact that Verisign already sees over $1 billion of annual gross profit, I highly doubt that doubling their revenue will see much in terms of new services that wouldn't have been developed anyway at their current trajectory. An operating cost of $200 million for $1 billion gross profit is already insanely profitable. Cranking it up like this is just an obvious cash grab for the shareholders.
