However this victory for NSI may be short lived. Something
that you seemed
to have very conveniently left out or your post here William.
Wonder why???
To Wit, from WIlliam's URL:
"Victory may be short-lived
Patterson said the company, based in the Washington D.C.
suburb of Herndon, Va., is entitled to antitrust protection
while it operates on behalf of the government. The company
was assigned its registration tasks by the National science Foundation.
The judge also ruled that the free speech rights of PGMedia were
not violated because Internet addresses are more like telephone
numbers than speech.
Network Solution's victory however is likely be short-lived.
In May, five companies -- including Network Solutions, are
scheduled to begin competing in the rapidly-expanding business of
registering Internet names. "
On its face this article seems to imply that pgMedia has not
yet gotten a decision on
it's separate filing against the IANA nor does it exclude that potential
of its
refilling at a, shall we say more convenient time as well...
