Like I just wrote somewhere else...

In a recent conference, an high-up Verisign Europe guy told us at a
round-table session, word by word: "We are Verisign, we control the
Internet".

I wanted to jump over the table and punch him in the face, but for some
reason I didn't.

Anyway, he was a very nice guy, so I later told him *exactly* what I
thought of his statement.

He said he is simply quoting their CEO. He added that when you come to
think about it, it's true. They control .net, .com, see all transactions...

At this stage I nearly kicked him (and I was in a suit), but he was a
really nice guy and beer took precedence.

Just thought I'd share.

I am not sure how I feel about all the OLD vs. NEW battle going on
regarding 'control" of the Internet, and Verisign making a move on the
business idefense was.. erm.. trying to be in, makes me wonder.
