I don't care for the Site Finder service, but I would really like to see that Waiting Listing service come. At least with that, ANYONE can have a chance at getting a decent domain. These days its impossible, unless you have a real big wallet to jump into the pool with.

I heard that it still wont be as easy as anyone getting a domain... Anyone care to explain the whole process if verisign was to go ahead?

with .net coming up for bids I do not see WLS happening

eNom pulled WLS from its website and is no longer offering to customers as a reliable form of registration, and instead is pushing the club drop service. Not sure if WLS will ever become reality or not. . .

Looking at the momentum within that space and the number of "drop only" registrars I do not think that wls will come true. I do think that the value of connections will drop FAST with so many registrars. They were making 30-40K per month, now it is more like 10, within 6 months expect 3K.

verisign is losing almost all big cases day by day, hopefully when they lose the .net registry many stuff will change :)

Don't you just wish time will fly so fast or VeriSign will
do something stupid that'll finally let them lose the
.COM Registry as well? :D

Bashar a lot of people are waiting for that but I can only hope the one to come won't be even worse.

From what I know, they (Verisign) have already filed for yet another complaint at the state level (LA Superior Court) last Friday (Aug 27). This time, the antitrust claims are dropped; looks like they are focusing on the breach of contract thingy.

They pretty must have lost sitefinder. I think the next defeat will be WLS coming very soon
