DOMAIN NAMES DROPPED FROM INTERNIC DATABASE
Internic -- the Internet domain name administration arm of Network Solutions
Inc. -- dropped thousands of names from its database last week, preventing
e-mail messages addressed to those names from being delivered.  Users whose
names were lost will be forced to get new ones from Network Solutions --
something that's caused critics to accuse the company of ulterior motives:
"They [NSI] seem to be embarking on a campaign to benefit their [domain name
registration] system," says the VP of one ISP.  An NSI spokeswoman denied
the charges:  "This is part of targeting people who register thousands of
domains and sell them for a profit."  NSI will lose its monopoly over domain
administration in September 2000, when the Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN) takes over.  (Data Communications 10 Mar 99)
