And then there could be competition, which could potentially create some bad scenarios. What if one registration service refused to propagate their domains to other registration services?
Then no one would use them for DNS service. Back when the NIC first started charging for services I remember seeing a message from someone who was going to attempt to make another root name service, but I haven't heard much about it since. Since the NIC charges $100 per registration, you can bet there will be some legislation somewhere along the line. They must be makeing 5000-10000% profit.
