Re: Its Unanimous: Everyone Hates the ICANN/VeriSign .Com Deal

George Kirikos Wrote:Notice that the I have no objection to that --- as long as I get the list before anyone else does. Yeesh --- talk about an untapped profit center - there are lots of people buying domains on little more than guesses that they will have traffic. Imagine having a list of the unregistered domains with the highest traffic. Makes me wonder if this information is already getting out. On second thought - if people knew that all the good traffic domains are taken by the "house" they would not buy on speculation and the number of domains sold might just drop! Why bother with all this - just set it up where ANY unregistered domain gives a verisign owned advertising page. And mandatory banner ads on .com sites, while they are at it.

Re: ICANN and VeriSign face antitrust lawsuits
Quote:CFIT spokesperson John Berard said voting in favor of a bad deal doesn't change the deal's dynamics. He said it just confirms ICANN's refusal to listen to legitimate criticism coming from every corner of the Internet community. The judge's antitrust ruling will undo ICANN's vote if CFIT wins. ![]() |

Quote: It's monopolistic because it locks in price hikes and eliminates good old-fashion competition. The Department of Commerce doesn't care about monopolistic practices. They looked the other way as ATT was being put back together. |
