VeriSign Pursues ICANN In State Court

Saeed al-Sahaf writes "Like a page out of the SCO how-to book, in the wake of its legal loss in U.S. District Court, VeriSign is moving on to attack ICANN in California's Los Angeles Superior Court. It's the same old story from VeriSign, and they seem intent on dragging it out. 'ICANN's unjustified and overreaching efforts over a three-year period to regulate services that VeriSign offers to registrars and domain name registrants ... has delayed and otherwise impeded the introduction of new services by VeriSign,' the company alleges in its filing. Funny, I have several active and inactive domains at VeriSign, and I can't remember being 'offered' these 'services'. I think most people would have declined such an 'offer'."
