Re: [ga] VeriSign May Ditch Domain Deal
""The major sticking point arose from a letter that the Justice Department sent to the Department of Commerce warning that the deal would harm competition in the nascent business of registering Internet names, people familiar with the negotiations said. The letter opposed the so-called vertical integration of VeriSign's managing of the ".com" database and registering new names in the database, sources said."" ""Commerce officials were said to be asking for more concessions from VeriSign, such as giving up control of the ".net" domain sooner than 2005.""
