I abandoned them a long time ago, but the big question is, how
can we get rid of them as root servers operators? Sounds like
time to push for more independent servers, and a truly separate
company to handle the root server portion of .com/.net. They
could still exist as a registrar, but with these kind of business
practices, how long? Probably not very, so I'd expect them to
fight it tooth and nail.
Or abandon .com/.net entirely, but that would take a long time
and a massive public-education campaign. See what happens to
them when everyone refuses to use either .com or .net. I still
use them, by way of OpenSRS, but that could be solved with some
new registrations with a non-hostile TLD operator.
