All, I would say that news.com's article that William posted needs a bit more research, as it does not jive with Melbourne IT's own announcement which I posted yesterday I believe. There is also another copy (Exact) of Melbourne IT's own announcement available at www.businesswire.com as well

Paul and all,   I agree with your conclusion here Paul.  My (Browser Based WHOIS APP) took about 25 mins to build and takes only about 5 mins to update as new Registrars come online.  Of course mine is all JAVA driven... >;)   I also built a nice little JAVA Serverlett that does the same thing wi
