Link: VeriSign responds to Telcordia report criticisms
VeriSign have responded angrily to recent complaints about a recent Telcordia report, which recommended the company to continue administrating the .net domain names.
VeriSign have effectively been handed a continued administration of the .net domain names, after the contract came up for renewal. However, the report that recommended them over other competing companies continue a string of factual errors and inconsistencies, some of which apparently artificially mark up VeriSign services, while down-playing rival bidders with exaggerated claims.
After three of the companies made public their complaints and criticisms of the report, VeriSign released a strong condemnation of the otherwise silent runner-up, Sentan, a company some critics claim is the only one capable of truly challenging VeriSign’s dominance and administrative capability.
ICANN has meanwhile attempted to take the debate out of public while - though there remains strong public criticism for the role of ICANN in the matter, which has also been criticised for its allocation of the .travel domain name.
ICANN have especially suffered a bad run of public relations, with the furore over the .net and .travel domain allocations being added to by accusations of not properly addressing abuse of .pro domain names.
