    ICANN and Verisign sued by trade body

    Unhappy with ICANN's decision to give Verisign exclusive control over the .com domain, a US trade body is suing them both under allegations that US anti-trust laws have been breached.
    The lawsuit filed by the World Association of Domain Name Developers alleges the deal creates a monopoly of the .com market.

    The agreement "provides for the automatic renewal of the agreement and thereby precludes competitors from ever entering the .com and .net domain name registration market", said the filing.

    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
