Re: "WLS' slated to start tommorow.

Update from REGISTER.COM:
"W-Whu... how did you get this number? For the last time, stop calling my @#$% house, or I'll report you to the police! There is NO Dobie Wallace here! --CLICK"

By "police", I assume this is a reference to "ICANN" or "Verisign". The inference I believe is that they will not be immediately supporting WLS.

Update from TUCOWS/OPENSRS:
"Hello. Hello? Is someone there? Why do you keep calling here if you're not going to say anything? Uh. [-noise in the background]. [--whispers--] I think its the same guy. What? Yeah... he kept asking about the waiting list-- [muffled] --and won't say anything. [--silence, rustling--] Hello? Are you still there? Please stop calling our 800 number with the same damn question! It hasn't started yet, we don't know when it will, so go away!!! [--pause--] [--whispers--] I bet he's still there...[--click--]"

The inference here is that WLS is indeed being talked about at OpenSRS. I believe they'll be up by the end of the day.

Update from eNom:
"Ok. Listen closely, because I'm not going to say this again. EDWARD NOM. My name is EDWARD NOM. I DO NOT REGISTER DOMAIN NAMES. If you call my cell phone one more time and waste my minutes or voice mail box, I will hunt you down and kill you. [--click--]"

Apparently eNom is getting out of the business, and different from my previous report, will not be supporting WLS.

I have a number for Network Solutions I'll be trying sometime later, so stay tuned.
