Documented abuses:

VeriSign's implementation of "SiteFinder" - a web address resolution service that accomplishes the following:
Hijacks agreed-upon domain name resolution standards by directing non-existent Internet addresses to a VeriSign paid advertising page
Illustrates the potential for compromised network security and the very real risk of a "single point of failure" for the Internet when VeriSign chooses to circumvent Internet standards
Effectively delivers a massive "captive audience" to VeriSign

VeriSign's proposed Wait-Listing Service (WLS) -- a domain name back-ordering service that accomplishes the following:

Eliminates competition for domain name back-ordering when a robust market has already emerged that offers consumers a number of business models
Replaces the current pay-for-performance model with one that charges steep annual fees and offers no assurance of success
Charges back-order prices that are four times higher than regulated domain name prices
Reduces customer choice by giving well-heeled speculators an advantage in obtaining deleted domain names
