Ontario man sentenced following Competition Bureau investigation

OTTAWA, June 30, 2004 - A Toronto man who targeted over 73,000 business and non-profit organizations across Canada with a deceptive mailout for the renewal of their Internet domain names has been sentenced to a $40,000 fine and a five-year prohibition order. The sentence results from an investigation by the Competition Bureau into Mr. Daniel Klemann and Internet Registry of Canada (IROC) under the misleading representations provisions of the Competition Act.
