"For this vocal minority, resentment lingers at the very fact that the Internet is used for commercial purpose, which ignores the fact that it's a critical part of our economy." So verisign admit its about the $$$s then? Sticking on the commercial argument claim which this argument is about, Verisign also fails to mention that it is only the keeper of the registry and it is being uncompetitive by allowing its registrar business to benefit at the exclusion of the many other registrars.

In case you're wondering who the author is, since neither the bio on the page or Verisign's site is helpful. Mark McLaughlin is a former lawyer who moved into Marketing and Biz Development (Caere, Gemplus, Signio and then Verisign payments).
