[wildcard-comments] Verisign DNS abuse

[Rob Stiles<robs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Internet is built on an agreement where everyone has worked together and 
decided to implement things in a certain way.  The Request For Comments (RFC) 
documents are written by people all over the world and specifically state 
exactly how protocols must be implemented for world-wide compatibility.  
Nothing would work without them.  Verisign's greedy abuse of it's US government 
granted monopoly is an affront to everything the Internet is.  One individual 
American company must not be allowed to get away with this.  Network Solutions 
should have stayed a non-profit organization.  I think it's about time the root 
name servers were hosted somewhere else.  Verisign only have that power because 
we, the Internet community, have granted it to them.  We can easily grant it to 
someone else by looking for our root name servers elsewhere.

I have signed and I agree with the petition at http://www.whois.sc/verisign-dns/
