The big difference, though, is that those secondary market participants
are:
1. Actually PAYING for the domain name: Verisign registry proposes they
get EVERY unregistered domain name for FREE.
2. Subject to UDRP. By not registering the domains, Verisign registry
isn't subject to UDRP.
When you misdial a 1-800 number, does Neustar or your phone company
play a jingle for your competitors?
