Well, if you don't like Verisign's service, you can always move one county over, and deal with a different TLD domain registrar for .com, just like with your Ford dealer.

(As an aside, I'd pay for a better-curated DNS infrastructure. For instance, google's font domains of whatever could just resolve to something federated, and that has TLS certs that are trusted by the alternative infrastructure. Google's chain of trust could be on a certificate revocation list.)

I'm not sure if this is a joke, but it's not correct. Verisign handles all .com domains; all the different registrars are just frontends to Verisign.

I hope that someone sooner or later will be able to propose an alternative model to the current DNS infrastructure.

Exceeding the current limits and the abuses that derive from it is certainly something extremely difficult to achieve, but I think there's a market in trying to fix the status quo.
