On March 30, VeriSign will upgrade its Whois service for .com and .net, which will now reflect registration activity in the .com and .net registry databases in near real-time. We are announcing this upgrade because the Whois output format will change slightly at the same time and we want to give notice to anyone who may have to update processes that parse this output.
