so? how is this any different than Microsoft exploiting it's structural near-monopoly to offer it's (lame) typo service? I thought competition was supposed to be a good thing!
I see a lot of reflexive NSI hating here.

I can choose or not choose to use a Microsoft browser. And whatever Microsoft chooses to do with its browser has absolutely no effect on whether other internet software, which is built on known DNS functionality, continues to work as expected. No, I do not think that breaking everyone's link-checker software is a "good thing".
Competition is indeed a good thing. That is why when a party has been granted a limited monopoly in one area, we normally safeguard against leveraging that monopoly as an unfair advantage to compete with others in areas which are not strictly related to the rationale for the limited monopoly grant.
