Re: Verisign to sell Network Solutions

Correction... People would prefer that Verisign keept the REGISTRAR
operations for .com/.net and sold the REGISTRY operations. REGISTRY
is the monopoly part that the REGISTRARs feed into.

So...correct me if I'm wrong here...does this mean that the registry

will be owned by  different companies?

Isn't that what we wanted all along?
Yes, except I think that people would prefer that Verisign kept .com/.net
registry operations (because they can choose not to use them), and sold
the GTLD operations to someone else ;-)
