Dot-com hocus pocus - The remaking of a monopoly
By Brock N. Meeks, MSNBC

THE INTERNET Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced last
week it cut a deal with former monopoly domain name registrar, Network
Solutions, Inc., that once again cements its monopoly status.

The deal is a stunning refutation of a public policy promise the Department of
Commerce extracted from NSI a few years ago. The original promise was that the
company would spilt off the domain name registry from its registration business
in order to spur competition in the domain name registration business.
