As far as I can see, the InterNIC site was where NSI fulfilled their duties
to the USG and the networksolutions.com site was where they offered a value
added service.
It is of course entirely self serving that NSI now claims the InterNIC site
as a Registrar site rather than a Registry site. Well, of course they would,
but the USG shouldn't let them get away with it.
Every time NSI claims an absolute truth, you need to look at the spin and
the re-writing of history.
And read http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/990325/ny_asensio_1.html for
background.
I quote 'We believe that NSOL's management has purposely disseminated
misleading information, and failed to disclose material negative
information'.
