Sorry for my ignorance. Can anyone give me more info about this?
NEW POLICY ON INTERNET ADDRESSES
Should be NEW POLICY ON INTERNET DOMAIN NAMES!!?
Network Solutions Inc., the computer networking unit of Science Applications International Corp., will no longer assign Internet addresses on a first-come-first-served basis, if the address represents a trademarked name of another company. If an individual owner of such an address refuses to relinquish it, Network Solutions will suspend use of that address. In the past, individuals have registered names such as "mcdonalds.com" without owning the trademark to that name. (Wall Street Journal 7/27/95 B12)
