AT&T / Verizon DNS Flush?

Wed Apr 16 16:50:56 UTC 2014

Seems like the DNS protocol already addresses this issue with TTLs. The 
issue is that people sometimes regret the TTLs they chose (or their 
service provider chose for them). Any reason registrars commonly choose 
a 2 day TTL? Would they be just as well off with a 1 day TTL (my guess 
is that they would)?
