More on Sitefinder shutdown
Posted October 3, 2003 – 5:07 pm by Yakov Shafranovich in TechnologyVerisign decided to cave in to ICANN and suspend their SiteFinder service according to a press release. Some VERY INTERESTING quotes:
“Without so much as a hearing, ICANN today formally asked us to shut down the Site Finder service.”
Hmm, hint, hint here - how about the fact that you turned on the service without a hearing?
“The next several weeks will be a test as to whether innovation will occur within the Internet infrastructure.”
So now Verisign is the “innovator” on the Internet and I guess all the IETF/IRTF/IAB folks (myself included) and everyone else is against innovation.
This can be summed up very well:
