I just report them like I hear them. They are priced higher than Verisign too.
According to your report, the guy made a comparison to MacDonalds, having only 10.000 outfits in the US compared to the Post Office having 50.000. But MacDonalds has a strong international presence while the US Post Office has almost none. And then one could eat a tasty burger, waiting for one's smartcards to get signed by the trustworthy attendants (I mean, they do where uniforms). Asgaard
