DomainToolsBlog “Network Solutions steals domain ideas; confirmed!
Jay Westerdal wrote an interesting article on his blog today regarding the Network Solutions fiasco. The title speaks volumes about how many in the domain name industry are feeling tonight. It is titled "Network Solutions steals domain ideas: Confirmed!"
The article is well written and has a personal verification of his findings to back up the blog. I was particularly interested in many of the comments, some of which related to other registrars who have a similar approach.
Historically many people have suspected registrars of inventing their own rules, however until today there has been almost zero tangible evidence (most information was from ex employees of registrars, and frankly that makes them appear bias regardless of how honest their story - until now of course).
I suspect we will see a barrage of denials and ducking for cover when the dust settles.
The picture on Jay's blog is an absolute classic - it was so good it was worth sharing a new post with you.
