It has been the genius of the Internet that it does as little as possible. VeriSign violated Net custom and procedure when it changed its translation services for the .com and .net domains.

The first page of the 20 October issue of eWeek states, by way of lead-in, that "we think Verisign was wrong ... and we say so." VeriSign Was Wrong |
