The prospect of more regulation does not fill everyone will unalloyed optimism, however.

You never know what price it can fetch you later. But in the end it’s illegal", the truth of the statement from the Chairman of a domain name registrar can be gauged from the fact that cyber squatters are having a field day taking the advantage of opportunities like land rush. Land rush is a phase for registration in which individuals can apply for domain names, which companies have not registered. During a land rush, domains can be procured real cheap such as even at $ 100. Post land rush, domains can even be procured but are later sold at astronomical prices. http://www.mondaq.com/article.asp?articleid=53678 dotMobi gets the great ball rolling Dublin-based firm dotMobi, the global registry for the mobile phone web domain ‘.mobi’, recently had a joint meeting with Enterprise Ireland and the Chinese Ministry of Information to discuss the possibility of creating an infrastructure for the mobile internet all across China.

The court determined that upon reviewing recent cases on whether a forum can exercise specific jurisdiction over a foreign defendant based on the fact that their website or domain name infringes upon a resident plaintiff, a principle exists. The court stated, “Simply registering someone else's trademark as a domain name and posting a web site on the Internet is not sufficient to subject a party domiciled in one state to jurisdiction in another . . . There must be ‘something more’ to demonstrate that the defendant directed his activity towards the forum state.” The court determined that this something more factor was not found in this case. The “something more” factor was not found in the fact that users could communicate with the defendant by email or by ftp. This fact was not enough to justify a finding of jurisdiction. The court dismissed the suit for lack of personal jurisdiction over the non-resident defendant. http://www.ibls.com/internet_law_news_portal_view.aspx?s=articles&id=8E0A6E7C-6CAA-4FD1-9B56-886CB7231689 ca: Stelmach's legal threats against blogger spawn backlash [The Canadian Press] Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach's legal case against a blogger with the domain name edstelmach.ca appears to have spawned a cyber-backlash. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080115.waltablogger0115/BNStory/National/ Will the real Ed please stand up Premier Ed Stelmach is experiencing multiple-personality disorder -- in cyberspace, at least.

Now that the dust is settling on the domain name front running story, what is the true story away from the hyperbole? Well, to me it seems that, for whatever reason, Network Solutions deemed it a fabulous idea to reserve for a set period of time domain names people search for on their registration site. However it turned out to be a PR disaster. http://technewsreview.com.au/article.php?article=3724 http://www.domainpulse.com/2008/01/15/was-network-solutions-front-running-or-just-bad-pr/ http://www.domainnews.com/general/2008012199/was-network-solutions-front-running-or-just-bad-pr/ Network Solutions is getting better by Jay Westerdal After a horrible launch last week of reserving all domain names on Network Solutions before a customer even ordered them, Network Solution started making improvements to the forward reservation service. I privately offered 4 unsolicited suggestions to a few Vice Presidents at Network Solutions. 1) Don’t register Name Servers with the domain (Avoid leaking the ideas); 2) Ask the consumer IF they intend on register a domain and IF they can guarantee payment; 3) Allow them to Opt in before searching and 4) Allow the consumer the ability to delete the domain being held in the AGP. http://blog.domaintools.com/2008/01/network-solutions-is-getting-better/ Network Solutions' Flack-Producing Moves Leading domain registrar Network Solutions is under fire for a controversial practice under which it briefly reserves domain names after it notices search activity on the names. Network Solutions describes the technique as a way to protect legitimate interest in domains from modern-day cyber-squatters. Word of the approach spread quickly last week after it was revealed that the company was using its servers to automatically reserve domains temporarily after it recorded a search on the term or name in question. http://ecommercetimes.com/story/Network-Solutions-Flack-Producing-Moves-61179.html Network Solutions plans to reserve domain names for individual searchers Network Solutions is developing a way to hold a domain name exclusively for a person who has searched for that name's availability.

In the IT world a great example of a lack of oversight of an authority is the situation that we have with Network Solutions (NSI). NSI is the domain name registrar that was allowed to have sole control over the .com, .net, and .org top-level domains up until 1999, and for which it gouged the public with the permission and support of ICANN. In the last few days, NSI was found to be doing something completely and unequivocally unethical: Holding unregistered domain names hostage and, once again, gouging the public. http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;712578009;fp;4194304;fpid;1 http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/index.php/id;712578009 Network Solutions Draws Domain Flak [sub req'd] Network Solutions LLC, one of the biggest sellers of Internet domain names, has come under criticism in the past week for what it called an attempt to stop a practice akin to insider trading in domain names. Yesterday, responding to charges it was making matters worse, it said it had made changes to its new policy. The controversy has heightened attention on "front-running," a practice some believe is plaguing the domain-name business. Front-runners learn about someone's interest in a not-yet-created domain name and buy the name before the would-be customer can, allowing them to sell the name at an inflated price to the customer who originally showed interest. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120035979165090009.html?mod=googlenews_wsj VeriSign's Behavior Continues It's official: Network Solutions, a subsidiary of VeriSign, is holding on to domains searched in its whois database.
