Is VeriSign Up To Running The .Net
Registry?

Is VeriSign Up To Running The .Net
Registry? 02/05/2005 09:45 PM
Later this year, a company will be selected to run the .net domain on the internet. VeriSign has operated the .net registry since 2001 alongside the .com registry. However, exactly how certain it is that the company will be able to take on the registry for another term is unknown. VeriSign critics have highlighted their poor track record on certain issues as a sound reasons as to why the company should not be allowed to run the .net registry again. In 2003, VeriSign introduced a controversial and short lived "Site Finder" redirection service for all un-registered .com and .net domains. ICANN forced VeriSign to remove the service and VeriSign in turn sued ICANN in a case that was dismissed in late 2004. Yet as <a href="http://www.ntk.net/">NTK</a> summarizes, two security researchers have another reason as to why VeriSign shouldn't be running the registry.

"Everyone else likes to worry about Google's gathering conflict of interests, but Verisign's S.P.E.C.T.R.E.-level skills still take some beating. This week, orbiting crypto analysts Ian Grigg and Adam Shostock belatedly pointed out to ICANN that perhaps VeriSign couldn't trusted with .net. Why? Well, VeriSign these days offers both top level domains and SSL certificate authentication. They also, with their <a href="http://www.verisign.com/products-services/communications-se rvices/connectivity-and-interoperability-services/calea-compliance/pag e_CS_CIS_NETDISCOVERY.html">NetDiscovery service</a> - sell ISPs a complete service for complying with law enforcement surveillance orders. So, if an American court demands an ISP wiretap its customers, and the ISP turns that order over to VeriSign to do the dirty: well, VeriSign can now fake any domain you want, and issue any temporary fake certificate, allowing even SSLed communications to be monitored." (Complete message <a href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/net-rfp-verisign/msg00008.html ">here</a>)

VeriSign have yet to respond to these criticisms. So far, ICANN, the body that oversees the .Net registry, has received five applications to run it; Verisign's four year contract with ICANN expires on 30 June 2005. VeriSign had seemed highly likely to win the bid until it emerged that <a href="http://www.core-plusplus.net">CORE++</a>, a global consortium of companies, had quietly placed a bid for the contract. Core claim to have the backing of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Systems_Consortium&qu ot;>Internet Systems Consortium</a>, a non-profit company that makes central internet software like <a href="http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/">BIND</a>. The company seem reasonably determined to take over from VeriSign, who are experiencing their first ever challenge to their monopoly of running top-level domains. ICANN will announce the winning bid in the coming months.

Upstream Speeds Getting To Be More
Important

Upstream Speeds Getting To Be More
Important 06/08/2004 12:26 PM
Broadband companies have been so focused on downstream speeds, they've pretty much ignored the fact that one of the benefits of having an always on connection is that it allows people to do things upstream as well. It's a symptom of the "broadcast" mentality of broadband companies who think the only reason to go online is to download content - and not to communicate with others or to create and offer your own content. However, what things like peer-to-peer systems have shown is that upstream speeds are increasingly important as well - and we're starting to see a tiny shift where broadband providers are starting to increase the speeds and talk about their upstream speeds as well (rather than hiding them in the fine print). Of course, many are still worried about any kind of server application coming out of the home and how it will impact bandwidth, but as with downstream broadband, there isn't going to be much they can do to stop it. As new applications come out that make more use of upstream bandwidth providers who offer higher bandwidth heading upstream will start to get more business.

Comcast taken a page for the DSL play book recently. DSL has long been known to “tier” services for their customers, thus providing them with more choices. Well it looks like Comcast will be doing the same by offering customers a choice between 3Mbps down/256kbps up or 4Mbps down/384kbps up instead. The 4Mbps option will cost a little more, but you can bet that I will be signing up for the increase being I am…
