DOMAIN NAMES
**********************
VeriSign Domain Price Increase Criticized
The Internet is about to get more expensive, without justification some believe. VeriSign, the company that manages both .com and .net domain name registration, said Thursday that the registry fees for domain names will increase starting Oct. 15. The registry fee for domain names -- effectively the wholesale price -- will rise from $6 to $6.42 for .com names and from $3.50 to $3.85 for .net names. This represents the first registry fee increase since ICANN established the fee structure in 1999.

VeriSign to increase .com, .net domain fees
VeriSign is planning to raise the wholesale cost of registering a .com or .net domain name in October to generate more money for infrastructure improvements, the company announced on Thursday.

Domain Name Prices To Rise (And Keep Rising?)
This won’t cause the end of the world, and it probably won’t even drive anyone out of business, but Verisign is set to raise domain prices by 7-10%.  More ominous is the possibility that the prices will, from this point on, continue to increase on a yearly basis.  Oh, well - at least the company is being upfront about it.

Two thirds of the online Europeans are aware of .eu (news release)
Just one year after its launch, almost two thirds (63%) of the European online population are aware of the .eu Internet top level domain name and 45% know that they, as residents of EU, can get their own .eu domain name. These are some of the findings of a survey conducted by the independent company, InSites, on behalf of EURid.

Infrastructure ENUM by Geoff Huston
After much initial fanfare a couple of years ago ENUM has matured to a state where it is currently yet another under-achiever in the technology deployment stakes. ENUM initially presented itself as a very provocative response to the legacy telco position of monopolising public voice services through their exclusive control over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and the associated controlling position over the telephone number space (the so-called “E.164” number space, after the ITU-T recommendation E.164 which recommends country code assignments for switched telephony services). The perception was that ENUM was going to dismantle these levers of control and open up the voice market to a new wave of competitive carriers. If the address plan was the key to the PSTN, then ENUM was intended unlock this network and position the new wave of VOIP carriers to take over any residual treasures of the traditional voice market.

Biggest threat to Internet could be a massive virtual blackout
The most serious threat to the Internet infrastructure in the 21st century is a massive virtual blackout known as a "distributed denial of service attack," an outspoken board member for the group that administers Internet addresses said Thursday at a Hudson Institute briefing. This type of high-tech ambush, which occurs when multiple compromised systems flood the bandwidth or resources of a targeted server to make Web pages unavailable, could be devastating for global online communication, said Susan Crawford of ICANN.

za: Finally, an end to cybersquatting
You may not be familiar with the term 'cybersquatting', but you are probably familiar with the practice of cybersquatting. Cybersquatting occurs when a third party Internet user registers an Internet domain name incorporating your company’s name or your company’s trade marks. Typically, cybersquatters will then try sell the domain name back to you at an inflated price.

In the wake of RegisterFly, is ICANN taking flight?
In the aftermath of the ICANN meeting in Lisbon, the RegisterFly disaster continues to inspire both litigation and paranoia. Those connecting the dots are convinced that an ICANN report debated at the Lisbon meetings exploring the possibility of changing ICANN to an international organization along the lines of the International Red Cross is an attempt by ICANN to slither out of this whole mess.

Remain Master of Your Domain (Name)
The Internet is a wild and wooly place, and the rules change constantly. Unfortunately, as with any frontier, there are individuals looking to profit at others' expense. These people, frequently called "cyber squatters," look for lapsed domain names that typically grab the interest of Web surfers or attract high volumes of traffic. Cyber squatters then often grab up the lapsed domain name and use that Web site for their own purposes.

How Can We Take Domains Down Faster? by Larry Seltzer
Opinion: Often the best way to thwart an Internet attack is to take down the domain names involved in it, but this is a hard thing to do under current rules. Shortly before the revelation of the .ANI bug and the inevitable development of attack sites that it engendered, a prescient discussion was beginning about better ways to bring these sites down.

aero- more than just a domain name (news release)
Back in the year 2000, when .aero came around, it was considered by some a futuristic but others a totally and utterly crazy idea, to suggest that aircraft engines, seats, spare parts or individual passenger bags could have their own IP addresses or perhaps even a domain name, and, .aero initiative would be the “glue” where the aviation industry rules meets Internet. Now was it so crazy?

nz: Couple warn of website problems
A Tuatapere couple who operate jetboat trips on the Wairaurahiri River are warning other small businesses to be aware that the names of their businesses can be registered on the internet by competitors, who may then hive off potential clients. Joyce and Johan Groters have used the name Wairaurahiri Jet for the past 13 years to market their tourism business and it is painted on the side of their jetboat. However, competitors Paul and Gwen Roff, who operate the Hump Ridge Jet on the same river, have outmanouvred them on the internet, buying domain names www.wairaurahirijet.co.nz, wairaurahiri jet.com and wjets.co.nz, all of which take internet users to a website that promotes the Roffs' own tourism business.

us: Utah Ban On Trademarked Keywords Rankles Groups
Utah last month enacted Utah SB 236, the "Trademark Protection Act," a law that effectively prohibits the competitive use of trademarked terms as keyword advertising triggers. The new law establishes "an electronic registration mark that may not be used to trigger advertising for a competitor and creates a database for use in administering marks." This electronic registration appears to cover trademarks as well as domain names, which are not necessarily trademarks.

Together, they have voted on the various factors that are estimated to comprise Google's ranking algorithm (the method by which the search engine orders results). The result is a resource of incredible value - although not every one of the estimated 200+ ranking elements are included, it is the author's opinion that 90-95% of the knowledge required about Google's algorithm is contained below. Issues include Keyword Use in Domain Name; Global Link Popularity of Site; Age of Site; TLD Extension of Site (edu, gov, us, ca, com, etc) and Number of Queries for Site/Domain over Time.

Creating mobile Web sites for small businesses can often be too expensive for these companies, which is why the new dotMobi top-level domain has proved a popular alternative for many of them, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. A .mobi domain is supposed to signify a site that has been formatted for cell phones, smartphones and other mobile devices. The point is to make the mobile Web easier to access and navigate for consumers.

Speculation on generic names is OK
In a UDRP case over fools.com (D2006-1625), the Panel suggests that the fact "that the only other domain names in the Respondent’s portfolio, of which there is any evidence, are all common dictionary words" is a clue of bona fide registration.

Legitimate registration of a name on behalf of another person
The name grundke.de was registered by a web agency. It registered this name for a client, which bears the name "Grundke Optik", and then parked the domain name (which directed to the agency's pages). A third party, which family name is Grundke, sued the agency, and first obtained a motion for dispute from the German domain administration DeNIC which prevented the domain from being transferred.

A registrar which is required to transfer a domain name is not liable for doing so
The registrar Tucows Inc. and its subsidiary OpenSRS, transferred Robert N.'s name petswarehouse.com. Robert N. alleged this constituted trademark infringement.

Splitting the Root: It's Too Late by John Levine (republished, originally published 12/05)
One of the consistent chants we’ve always heard from ICANN is that there has to be a single DNS root, so everyone sees the same set of names on the net, a sentiment with which I agree. Unfortunately, I discovered at this week’s ICANN meeting that due to ICANN’s inaction, it’s already too late.

500 widerspenstige Berliner
Bürgermeister Horst Schramm möchte nicht mit seinem Hauptstadtkollegen Klaus Wowereit tauschen. Schließlich hat sein 500-Seelen-Dorf Berlin, Ortsteil der Gemeinde Seedorf bei Bad Segeberg in Schleswig-Holstein, ebenfalls fast alle Sehenswürdigkeiten der Millionenstadt an der Spree zu bieten. Besuchern zeigt der CDU-Kommunalpolitiker geduldig den kleinen Ort, er führt sie über den Kurfürstendamm mit beschaulichen Einfamilienhäusern, wandert Heerstraße und Uhlandstraße entlang, hält auf dem Potsdamer Platz kurz inne und genießt die norddeutsche Landluft auf der Straße „Unter den Linden“. Wer von der Berliner Sightseeingtour hungrig wird, kann sich im einzigen Gemischtwarenladen weit und breit, dem „KaDeWe“, mit Brot eindecken. Nur ein „Brandenburger Tor“ hat Horst Schramm noch nicht aufstellen lassen.
