Does VeriSign also sell domain names to end-users under .com? I mean,
are they also a registrar, not just a registry?
The registrar business was split off and later sold. As far as I
know, it operates under the name ``network solutions''.
I see. Thanks for the info. Does VeriSign have some other kind of
financial incentive to increase the number of registrations under .com?
On the other hand, if some actual IDN phishing starts to occur under
.com, VeriSign might have to tighten up their policy. They might
eventually lose money on any lawsuits that are filed. So, in the long
term, this IDN spoofing might not be in their best interests.
It's too bad they don't make any comments on this mailing list and take
some kind of action, to put our minds at ease.
