Who pays? The registries and registrars have supported moving away from the "all access all the time" model for WHOIS, so presumably they feel benefits of tiered or limited access justify implementation costs for them. --Wendy -- Wendy Seltzer -- wendy@xxxxxxxxxxx Visiting Assistant Professor of Law, Brooklyn Law School Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet & Society http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/seltzer.html Chilling Effects: http://www.chillingeffects.org
