VeriSign Files Lawsuit Against ICANN

VeriSign has filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in the Central District of California against the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) alleging that ICANN overstepped its contractual authority and improperly attempted to regulate VeriSign's business.



VeriSign asserts that ICANN has improperly attempted to become the de facto regulator of the domain name system and in doing so stifled the introduction of new services that benefit Internet users and promote the growth of the Internet. http://www.verisign.com
