Internetnews.com is reporting that the story DNSPolicy.com broke last
week on NSI Soliciting Webhosting and other Internet Service Providers
for advertising on NSI's whois and whois results pages (see
http://www.dnspolicy.com/features/99/08/20/1643201.shtml ) has been
confirmed by NSI.
Some of you will also remember that I predicted exactly this type of
progression when NSI first set the precedent of sending out
advertisements via email to the contact database.
This is just one more slap in the face of the Internet Service
Providers industry who has been singularly most responsible for
funnelling customers and sales to Network Solutions.
ISPs are asking for a neutral, safe, registrar. The one who provides
that is likely to gain a huge step up.
