<pre wrap="">About Verisign, I agree that it's a short expression for an actual reality:
US gov COULD cut DNS access to any country in the world. Verisign would just
execute orders.

<pre wrap="">
Please explain how this is technically possible. To my knowledge, it
is not (and I have worked for 2 root-server operators).
Are you talking about removing a ccTLD from the root zone?
Are you talking about Verisign dropping queries from IP address blocks
to the 2 root servers they operate?
While the first is not possible for the USG to accomplish, the second
is technically possible, but
doesn't mean that a nation state would be denied access to the DNS
root from all root servers.
