If they were really doing this to potect their customers who initiated the search, why can anyone who visits NetworkSolutions register the name than...rather than only the initial customer? This is a way for them to hold names hostage.

Also, instead of making the searches unregistered, why not give the customers the option to make the "domains" unregistered? This does not need any registry commitment. They are playing an angle. Plain and simple!

There's no legitimate reason to do this. They aren't protecting anyone. They are simply holding the domain hostage to force a desperate person to register with them and pay their exorbitant rates. Domain tasting should be eliminated. If these scammers have to pay $5 or more to register they simply won't do it.

I recently observed first hand another Network Solutions scam. Another company wanted to buy our domain name. We agreed, but I discovered the email address for our domain was incorrect in the Network Solutions data base. I changed it, as owner of the domain. Network solutions then informed me that, as a result of a change of email address, the domain could only be transferred to an existing Network Solutions account, not out of Network Solutions, for 60 days. I say, "BOYCOTT NETWORK SOLUTIONJS" .. what is ICANN thinking of to allow this behavoir??
