I posted an entry the other day, more of a rant I guess, about the whole Network Solutions “front running” thing. Here’s a link to that post: (http://www.cottonrohrscheib.com/blog/2008/02/22/shame-on-network-solutions/) if you want to get up to speed on it. If you are in the web development / hosting business or follow the industry any at all you have probably heard about this issue already. It infuriated a lot of folks, which is something Network Solutions has proven to do very well over the years with their business practices.
I was just reading on the WHIR where Network Solutions and ICANN both are being sued by a consumer law firm for their controversial practice of locking up domain names as soon as they were searched for on the network solutions website. Here’s a link to the article: Web Host Industry News | Network Solutions, ICANN Sued.
I am going to continue to follow this issue and see what happens next, I hope that the Law Firm, Kabatek, Brown, Kellner (www.kbklawyers.com) is able to get this thing under control.
