If I remember correctly, Verisign person stated in an interview that they estimate that it will be worth up to $100M annually.
Boycott Verisign as much as possible. You can register new names in .BIZ or .INFO or in a country specific TLD including .US http://www.us-register.com/faq-us.cfm If you just cannot convince customers to stay away from the polluted mess of .COM then please use one of the alternative registrars so that less of your money goes to Verisign. And you can get SSL certs from alternative sources such as GeoTrust http://www.geotrust.com/ If you really believe that Verisign's actions are stock manipulation or shareholder fraud and you have some evidence to support that belief then report it to the SEC http://www.sec.gov/complaint.shtml If you believe that Verisign's actions have damaged your business in any way then ask your lawyers to write a letter to Verisign demanding that they cease and desist. If necessary, then follow up with a lawsuit or join in a class action suit against Verisign. Complaining on this mailing list achieves very little but there are things that individuals and businesses can do to put their money where their mouth is and have some real impact on Verisign. --Michael Dillon
