Verisign: all your typos are belong to us

News.com: ICANN asks VeriSign to pull redirect service

Of course, this is just a temporary measure while it goes "under review," assuming VS even listens them.

I'm furious. This is a money grab of mammoth proportions for Verisign - there's very big money in sponsored search pages. And I hate the way it blows away my url to where I can't easily correct a typo. And I can't stand getting a search page on a flub.

I don't know if it will help, but ICANN is collecting comments here:

VeriSign's antitrust suit against ICANN dismissed

From the article:

A long-awaited report on the service, prepared by a group of technical experts organized by ICANN and released last month, concludes that Site Finder had undesirable side effects, violated commonly accepted codes of Internet conduct and should remain offline.
