In what sense is DNS decentralized? Public domain name administration is delegated by a handful of entities, and most high-traffic domains are on a registry operated by Verisign.
BGP is probably a better example of a successful decentralized protocol, and even that is contingent on ICANN and a handful of regional registries handing out IP addresses.
