RE: https://mastodns.net/@diffroot/116966621989680532 Afilias (later Altanovo) and Verisign blew a couple hundred million dollars fighting over .web for like 10 years. *checks Wikipedia* "The ICANN auction of last resort that started on July 27, 2016, and was completed on July 28, 2016." Literally precisely 10 years?? Wtf is this milestone celebration? I guess Verisign's sense of spite temporarily overwhelmed their corporate priority to jettison any business except .com. I wonder if they'll ever really try to launch .web. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.web https://domainincite.com/29159-web-fight-back-in-court P.S. Verisign is raising .com domain prices for no reason 2026-11-01! Identity Digital, successor to most of the other parts of Afilias, is raising prices on tons of TLDs including .exchange and .social for no reason around 2026-10-06!
