But Network Solutions' reason for doing this, to protect against front running, is quite real. None other than their own competitor Go Daddy confirmed it's also happening to them at an ICANN meeting in Morocco years ago. Go Daddy's executive Tim Ruiz asked what can they (registrars) do about this, and NS apparently decided to answer that with their current practice. OTOH, their ex-CEO Chimp...err, Champ Mitchell was quoted in Infoworld that they'll stop this once ICANN resolves this issue. That might be a long wait, though.
