Or a "VeriSign's business practices" page.
Unbelievable where Internet got over the last 10 years. Looks like the
last cluons at VeriSign were eaten up by their sales/marketing
departments (finally). Now they are "hijacking" two complete gTLD
namespaces...
VeriSign: WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
And don't try to tell us that you want to "help" users who mistype
addresses. You want to make money with typos, that's all. Any "Site
Finder" stuff is absurd by itself.
Shaking head,
Daniel
