Planned Obsolescense is the practice of designing a utility to artificially fail, become obsolete or unfashionable in order to get the next product out to replace it and make more profit.  This practice would be much less of a good business strategy with the Registry, as there is now more incentive to own utilities that do not lose actual use-value over time, because the demmurage on money motivates people to allocate their excess as equity in a utility that will be able to be sold in the future.  This is how people would plan for retirement or invest in an insurance.  Also, it would be easier to compete with utilities in high supply as the costs become more comparable the more the supply goes up, reducing oligopies and their incentive to exercise this practice.
