Re: [ga] Text of Letter to U.S. Commerce Dept. on ICANN Reform

[William X Walsh <william@wxsoft.info>]

As usual, Cochetti is full of it.

Verisign is angry that ICANN likely will not approve WLS, and won't
let them arbitrarily raise prices at the registry level.

Verisign wants a return to the days of NSI's unregulated monopoly,
something they probably thought they were buying when they purchased
NSI, and then got a rude awakening as that monopoly has been chipped
away from them.

I rarely ever agree with Stuart Lynn, but his quote in this article
was spot on.
