Interested in how much money is necessary to buy CA cert chaining up to a trusted root and besides money is something else necessary.
Laughably or alternatively, becoming a root isn't hard... copy and mogrify another root's policy/practice/security docs. Apply to Mozilla, Apple, MS, Oracle. And you're a root. This may actually be easier than convincing some root to tap you as an intermediate CA. Beware politics of power.
Talk to https://letsencrypt.org - see what they had to do (or if they are willing to have you chain to them) :) As it's non-commercial they may just be happy to chat tech with you for a while. I have no contacts there but I think it's part of or linked to EFF.
