Telcordia released its official report on which registry it thinks should managed the .net extension going forward (see “Nuetral Party to Evaluatate .Net Applicants by March 28”). Telcordia recommended that Verisign retain management of the domain name extension.
Personally, I have no problem with this decision. It’s important to remember that Verisign and Network Solutions are no longer the same companies. The only concern I have is Verisign trying to take advantage of their power (e.g. SiteFinder service).
The most important thing for registries is reliability. If the database of domains goes down, or domains get dropped without cause, the domain name world will come to a stop.
.Net is the 3rd most popular domain. Germany’s .de suffix and .com are more popular.
