I suppose you can’t know that, but your odds on betting on a whole industry are better than a single company. Not to mention, the barrier to entry for a registrar becoming accredited really isn’t that high, so I wouldn’t expect market consolidation unless ICANN changes the process, at which point shit is fucked regardless.
True, I’d be more concerned about legislation to be honest. The CAN-SPAM act is just the mildest example.
Also with the computer industry it’s getting pretty rare for any market niche to have more than 1-2 dominant players in it. Generally it’s winner take all. Just see what happened with all the indie ISPs.
And you knew 25 years ago that the market wouldn’t consolidate down to 1-2 registrars?
