You mean you haven't then immediately heard the "we are a developing country, please provide it free" story? On 3/11/12, Jonathan Lassoff <jof () thejof com> wrote:

The bribes that were requested in exchange for giving us permission to deploy a free service were, uh, both prohibitive and ludicrous in their enormity.This. This and the import duties on hardware and the requirement for licensing to operate as an "ISP" makes placing even a modest deployment a lot more work compared to deploying in other neighboring countries. I would presume that Verisign decided that it just wasn't worth the effort to deploy into India. It obviously has a gigantic user base for which getting into local ISPs and IXPs would probably save on transit costs. Perhaps if some local root operators could donate some space/power/connectivity, Verisign-grs could colocate a gTLD cluster there? Cheers, jof
