I'm glad we got past the question of whether the harm exists at all. Now it is merely a matter of placing a value on the damage.
There are two ways to measure this - one is to look at the loss of use based as a percentage of the period of the yearly registration period. And as you point out, if Verisign cranks down the TTL that time can be reduced.
The other measure, is to ask what price would Verisign have to pay to have that period of use if there were an evenhanded negotiation between Verisign and the registrant. Verisign's sitefinder doesn't allow the registrant to negotiate, but rather simply unilaterally acts to use the name. I doubt that a fairly negotiated price would be as low as 2 cents.
