The Race Is On For .net

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-about-dot-p-e-t? dept.

mikrorechner writes "As reported previously, ICANN is looking for a new registrar for the .net tld. The biddings are in now, and The Register has a lengthy article about the five contenders. Their guess is that only two really have a chance: VeriSign and DeNIC. We will know more in two months."

    If SCO weren't heading for bankruptcy, I'd prefer them to VeriSign. At least SCO has demonstrated that they can understand complex systems (The US legal system), even if they do abuse them...
