Verisign’s .Com Printing Press - DNW Podcast #329

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Verisign operates one of the most profitable large businesses in the world thanks to a no-bid contract to operate the .com namespace. My guest on today’s show talks about how Verisign got to where it is today and what the chances are that antitrust forces will take a look at it in the future. David Dayen is the Executive Editor of</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The American Prospect</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and the author of</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Monopolized: Life in the Age of Corporate Power</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.
