CNN.com - VeriSign shuts down Web site finder - Oct. 3, 2003: "VeriSign shuts down Web site finder
Friday, October 3, 2003 Posted: 5:08 PM EDT (2108 GMT)
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -- Web address provider VeriSign Inc. said on Friday it would suspend a controversial new service that steers mistaken Web searches to its own page after the organization that oversees Internet policies demanded it do so.
Earlier on Friday, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers issued a statement insisting that VeriSign halt its SiteFinder service and restore the '.com' and '.net' Web domains to the way they were before Sept. 15, when VeriSign began the service.
ICANN gave VeriSign until 6 p.m. PDT to comply with the request or face sanctions for violating its contract with ICANN. "
Well, it's not like ICANN was going to let them keep playing the web their own way. I don't think I'd have waited this long, if I was ICANN, to slam the door on them.
