Re: [ga] The remaking of a monopoly ?

[edierker@hi-tek.com]

I wonder and would appreciate the explanation as to the benefit and helpfulness of 
this posting.  I may be slow, and I can see the inflamatory nature, but it is 
beyond me how this helps us. Even the use of the word Monopoly is provacative.  
With so many people adding so much I would request respect for their hard work and 
ask that this type of posting of an article(which is outdated and ill informed)be 
avoided. I mean you no disrespect Mr. Corliss, and I respect your input but not Mr. 
Meeks.

I wish I had softer words for my sentiment and more time to cushion this remark but 
I do not. I am simply learning so much from the discourse that I am aggravated by 
the distraction. I apologize if I added to it.
Sincerely,

Dot-com hocus pocus - The remaking of a monopoly
By Brock N. Meeks, MSNBC

THE INTERNET Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced last
week it cut a deal with former monopoly domain name registrar, Network
Solutions, Inc., that once again cements its monopoly status.

The deal is a stunning refutation of a public policy promise the Department of
Commerce extracted from NSI a few years ago. The original promise was that the
company would spilt off the domain name registry from its registration business
in order to spur competition in the domain name registration business.
