I wondered how long it would take before they realized the registration business was harming the reputation of their security business.

I found this quote interesting:
"Running the domain-name operations with more autonomy could make it easier to sell the unit eventually, although VeriSign said it has no intention of doing so."

An example of one the worst dotcom deals made during those heady days. Can you imagine that 150 million domain names were expected to be grabbed by 2003? Already the .com namespace is already choked by such unbelievable junk at 22m, its almost a parody gone insanely mad.
