    Remind me again, exactly how much Verizon had to pay for all of these names compared to what others pay for their assigned names?
    I'd hope Verizon didn't pay anything given they didn't get the unassigned names. Verisign is keeping them for itself.

    I know Verizon has a reputation for being an evil company etc, but really people need to stop dragging them into any discussion of Verisign's Sitefinder. They have nothing to do with it.

    I'm really hoping that they get into some serious trouble over this. But with the way things have been lately I don't think much will come out of it.
