DNW Podcast #329: Verisign’s .com printing press

How Verisign got such a profitable business and what the future holds.

Headshot of David Dayen with the words Verisign's .com printing press

Verisign operates one of the most profitable sizable businesses in the world thanks to a no-bid contract to operate the .com namespace. My guest on today’s show talks regarding 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 The American Prospect and the author of Monopolized: Life in the Age of Corporate Power. It’s an enlightening discussion.
