- Me on 'first to file' in DNS registrations
This is a corollary to my speech on IETF/Namedroppers on First Come, First
Served filings for DNS Registrations.
I'd like to thank Bill Manning for pointing this one out to me; this one

I'm wondering if this was serious. Hmm, could an 'ATT.NET' owned by
Cable and Wireless be not far behind? :) (No, because AT&T and Sprint
already own the 'NET' versions of their names, too.)
