That's absolutely correct Ondřej. However the two things are linked.  
It will be harder and more expensive for the NCC to exit the DNS  
monitoring business -- as it will surely have to do eventually -- if  
the DNSMON service has strayed even further from its initial purpose.  
Which, IIRC, was to monitor the NCC's own DNS infrastructure.

I was deliberately vague here. :-) It could be the Tier-1 operator.  
Or it might be the government/regulator. It depends on the national  
circumstances. <CC>.e164.arpa  is a National Resource, just like a  
country's territory and air space. Nobody should be poking around in  
<CC>.e164.arpa without proper authority. Just like we usually have to  
show passports when crossing borders.
