I believe that Verisign’s blatant attempt to take over
the Internet contributed to the outage my ISP suffered this past weekend. Telling me that I spelled a domain name
wrong should be the job of my web browser, not Verisign. And now I hear that they’re
scanning any email that might have an incorrect address. I urge ICANN or whoever handles these
things to give the responsibility for .COM and .NET registrar to some other
organization. It appears that Verisign
can no longer be trusted.
