    I suppose you can’t know that, but your odds on betting on a whole industry are better than a single company. Not to mention, the barrier to entry for a registrar becoming accredited really isn’t that high, so I wouldn’t expect market consolidation unless ICANN changes the process, at which point shit is fucked regardless.

      True, I’d be more concerned about legislation to be honest. The CAN-SPAM act is just the mildest example.

      Also with the computer industry it’s getting pretty rare for any market niche to have more than 1-2 dominant players in it. Generally it’s winner take all. Just see what happened with all the indie ISPs.
