[ga] FTC Probing Verisign

[George Kirikos <gkirikos@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

Hot off the presses:

http://biz.yahoo.com/ri/020806/tech_verisign_3.html

"The FTC is seeking information about the company's practices with
regard to transferring Web addresses, deleting domain names and sending
direct mail solicitations to customers of competitors in the marketing
campaign that ended in May, the source said, and the company later
confirmed."

"Deleting domain names" = WLS :)

I had asked a couple of months ago, openly, whether they were under
investigation. See:

http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc10/msg01326.html

(near the very bottom) 

Of course, Chuck and Roger from Verisign ignored that question...time
has a way of proving people right, though. :)

If anyone has evidence to submit to the FTC, NEWCASE.ATR@usdoj.gov
would be the appropriate email to use.

Life at Verisign would be a lot simpler if they'd simply drop the WLS
proposal....

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
