Michael,
Curious whether there was a date on that letter from eNIC (ie, did VeriSign make the acquisition this quarter or last quarter)? Company is claiming it was last quarter...if so, probably accounted for over 100% of the increase in deferred revenue in the qtr.

The U.S. Government (nor ICANN) shouldn't have anything to do with the ccTLD's. These should be the reposibility of the relevant government, or an organisation acting on their behalf.
What is ridiculous is the way the ccTLD's are being sold globally because they look nice e.g. dot-tv.
Besides, I think the other seven G8 nations might object to the "...run from someone's basement..." argument. I'd much rather have a dot-co-dot-uk rather than a dot-com, firstly, they're slightly cheaper, and secondly have nothing to do with Verisign or the UDRP.

Perhaps it's because the ccTLDs run from someone's basement are more dependable than ICANN's .info, .biz, etc. -g

Using web-based email for your contact information has its own problems, including security (EG: Hotmail). I've also had a number of web-based email addresses go dark (EG: Excite), sometimes with no notice whatsoever that the provider was pulling the plug. -g
