What you're suggesting is that once Verisign marketing force moves in, this
will cause pressure ("imitating Verisign", who really does it?) on marketing
department of ISPs and DNS hosting providers to offer same level service?
I agree with you there, but I think most you will see are marketing by
companies offering outsourced dns servers, such as what is done by Enom
and or Zonedit. In these cases however, most such dns service providers
already do offer to their customers lower then normal TTL.
And greater majority of domains are not hosted on such provider but with
ISP that is taking care of the customer's entire DNS configuration and
does not need to change ip that often. I don't think this puts pressure on
such providers to change TTL.
So while some increase in genereal TTL may happen, I dont think it will
be overwhelming so as to cause serious alarm.
