NSOL - a company in disarray, without a business model and with no credible management.

NSOL has announced (on its web site no less) a totally schizoid policy of being a wholesaler of domains in search of partners - while retailign the same. They make $6/year per data entry and this license will be under scrutiny as per de-monoloplization agreements shortly.

NSOL no longer bills its clients for renewals. Law suits are bound to flow in, en masse; several are being register right now.

Any large domain name servers will go to an open source or a batch API and will make about $25/domain per year. If you have 5000 you'll make ca. $125K in passive income/year with little effort - all deducted from NSOL's bottom line. (And your customers know you (because you answer the phone or your email) - not NSOL).

RSA encryption loses patent rights in a year and VRSN is striking out desperately for an apparent recurrent money earner - against a certain avalanche of verification encryption solutions, most of them automated via XML and traditional industry meta langauge APIs.

The deal makes no sense and it's hard to understand why any anal with a modicum of e-matter would endorse a $25BN market cap spending $18BN on a dying species run by management that can't even be bothered to keep existing clients.

By a company that NEVER answers client's emails (have a try). By a company that never picks up the telephone.

This deal will never be pulled off IMO. Certainly not out of desperation of this order.
