No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... by Khaar2006-11-19 12:55:59
  So now they force all firewalls by scissors 2004-02-10 05:38:41
to block *.com and *.net, unless it's an "already approved named site". This way NO typo's go out any more behind the FW, and NO previously un-visited sites can be reached.
While it WILL be costly, and ask more IT security staff, it will also make (other) spam more difficult. Of course, spam-sites aren't "always" in the com or net TLD's, but many are.

IF they go through with it, i guess it can force companies to GIVE UP THEIR net / com names, changing for something reachable. As customers, they 'd QUIT verisign, and more: sue for forcing them to another round of advertising.

Thinking of that: will that be SPAM-type advertising?
