Publicly available financial filings show that VeriSign is strongly profitable. R On Sep 8, 2011, at 11:54 AM, Evan Leibovitch wrote:
Catching my eye from the article:
*The other possibility is VeriSign will be acquired by a private equity firm, which could purchase the company and revamp it to become profitable *
Does this imply that Verisign -- operator of the near-monopoly TLD -- is not profitable now?
If that is only partially correct, that doesn't offer much hope for the little ones about to start behind it. And the "revamping" could make the company more aggressive in the face of the new-TLD flood -- whatever form that takes, it also bodes poorly for the newcomers.
