Yes, I believe you're wrong.
First of all, how is the revenue from non-registered domains names being taken "from the pockets of consumers?" Consumers are paying for this? I don't think so.
The issue is not, nor has it ever been about consumers. That's a red herring of odorous proportions.
The issue is one of services and control. Nothing more, nothing less.
Verisign has taken their position of control to insert themselves above others who were offering services. With SiteFinder and WLS, they propose to be the sole source of those services, and the sole beneficiary of the revenue from those services.
That's the issue at hand.
