Verisign Recommended to Keep .com & .net

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday March 30, 2005 @12:56PM from the it's-mine-now dept.

An Anonymous SAIC Employee writes "The 'independent' company hired by ICANN to advise them on who should run the .com and .net registry has recommended that Verisign (fact sheet) should be chosen to continue to run the registry. Is it any surprise? Telcordia was owned by SAIC (Fact Sheet) during the time the study was conducted. SAIC bought Telcordia (fact sheet) (then Bellcore) in Nov. 1997 and sold it March 15, 2005. Network Solutions was bought by SAIC in 1995 and sold in 2000. Also, Telcordia worked with Verisign on the ENUM project. Is the fox guarding the hen house?"

Note to moderator. This can't be redundant, but it is insightful.
Perhaps you should quit your job at Verisign.
