The recent
change to the way Verisign handles domain widlcards, and the way
these were introduced without notice to the wider internet community is
viewed with deep concern by our company. This change will impact upon spam
filtering software that we had planned to implement throughout our
network.
Frankly, we
find such behaviour totally reprehensible. Verisign's actions in
this regard will win it no friends in the wider internet community and it
smacks of the worst kind of monopolistic behaviour that totally
disregards the legitimate needs of end users.
Insofar as our
company is concerned, it means that we have
forthwith cancelled all plans to implement a SSL service from
Verisign, opting to use the services of a smaller and less monopolistic
organisation instead.
