Verio Tries to Terminate Register.com's Accreditation

randomgeek writes: "Following up on this article which appeared earlier, Verio has requested register.com's registrar accreditation be terminated. Basically they're saying that register.com's blocking of whois information is in violation of some registrar agreement that provides for easy access to information by anyone, even for the purpose of advertising registration services. More can be found on the ICANN site here." Note that neither party is in the right; Verio is sending spam with the whois information (forbidden) and Register.com is blocking them from downloading it in bulk (also forbidden). Sigh.
