What I"m trying to discern from all the PR crap, is are we being forced to register new domains at NS, to be able to take advantage of the paid submission route? I realize no details this specific have been brought to the table, but it really irks me that Network Solutions may have found an avenue to keep us locked in to registering new domains with them. Remember, the days of $70 minimum for a domain registration aren't that far back? So now, we pay their decreased cost for the domain registration, but we get hit with more dollars to insure that we get into Inktomi?

I don't know about everyone else, but I'd rather take my chances with the open submission system, that Inktomi utilizes now. Unless of course Ink. goes into submission denial, as they did from Oct 98 through Spring of 99.... Everyone had better have their internal links well mapped out from that 1st level page.. :)
