FTC to Resolve Domain Issues

[Jim Fleming]

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission just announced
that it will be starting a process to resolve the domain
name issues. Evidently, they plan to start with a clean
slate and of course their charters will guide their actions.

Here are some excerpts...

@@@@ http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/history1.htm

"The Federal Trade Commission enforces a variety of
federal antitrust and consumer protection laws. The
Commission seeks to ensure that the nation's markets
function competitively, and are vigorous, efficient, and
free of undue restrictions."

"The FTC's antitrust arm, the Bureau of Competition, seeks
to prevent business practices that restrain competition.
As a result, purchasers benefit from lower prices and
greater availability of products and services."

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


Evidently, the FTC's actions are being applauded (literally)
by many commercial Internet companies that realize that
these actions are now necessary in light of the actions of
some of the so-called, Internet leaders, during the past few
years.
