Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see the match. I'm not sure what domain name services has to do with "trust" that the press release keeps talking about. That said, I'm putting in a low bid for VRSN call options.. I think it'll sell off and then analysts will come to defend it. Another interesting play is RCOM.. register.com. Just went public a couple of days ago. Closed at 50 1/4, bidding 69. I don't play equities though, so it's just an idea. James.

>Opinions anyone on the wisdom of the vrsn/nsol acquisition? Part of the complicated monopoly renewal agreement with the government was a clause that stated if Network Solutions was purchased by a third party, the "monopoly extension clock" would be reset and they'd have an EXTRA 4 years of monopoly. It was a foregone conclusion when I read that clause that they'd eventually be bought out. I just assumed they would wait until 1 day before the current monopoly extension ran out..
