I guess after .org scandal it's will be much harder for ICANN to take control away from Verisign under guise of some anti-monopolistic practices. On other hand they already make tons of money from control of their domain zones and since they are public company they'll less likely try to pull of something ugly.
VeriSign wants price caps removed like .ORG managed. They are salivating. Their fingerprints were all over removing price caps for .ORG. Those same lobbyists are still involved now at ICANN in the groups, subverting the public interest. I wrote about it originally here when I made a case for ICANN being captured: https://reviewsignal.com/blog/2019/06/24/the-case-for-regula...
