At the last NANOG, the keynote speaker described three instances where companies have "hijacted" the DNS.

The first "hijack" was Versisign wildcarding unregistered .com and .net domains (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_Finder). The second was OpenDNS redirecting Google searches to an OpenDNS proxy (http://web.archive.org/web/20120518025819/http://www.opendns...).[1] The third is the EDNS client subnet extension.[2]
1. Acording to the keynote this led to the creation of Google Public DNS "within 45 days".
2. If I am not mistaken, OpenDNS was an early proponent of EDNS client subnet adoption.
