If you understand the way the DNS and DNSSEC work the reason why is 
pretty obvious: they just want to check how many of them still ignore 
that the root server system is of no use, the proposed DNSSEC alibi 
as reliable as the US banking system. If they represent more than 60% 
of the users (as it is probably the case today if you consider the 
Chinese case), DNSSEC would actually be turning the Internet control 
to @larges earlier than obliged. The short term $ value difference is 
significant.
