RE: [wg-c] Possible solution to lock in? For Profit registries.

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGA" <mcade@att.com>]

I don't think that NSI has been really subject to that kind of oversight,
since there wasn't competition in registry business. I don't know if
competition is feasible in this space, or if this is a "limited monopoly"
for a variety of reasons.

Bob,

NSI has been subject to just such oversight, even tested in court, but the 
real end-user protection has been minimal (at best.)

What will make the new oversight better?
