Critical infrastructure operated by a single company. That can't ever go wrong, provider redundancy is overrated.

Not that I disagree, but wouldn't that require increasing the price even more so you could pay both companies?

I don't think the argument for "We're paying Verisign too much to be a single point of failure, so let's pay someone else who's never done it less to be a different single point of failure" really holds up.
