You know who/what this sounds like? Microsoft. When smacked down about IE integration and WMP integration, they screamed bloody murder and claimed freedom of innovation. Exactly what NetSol/Verisign is doing. Maybe they have the same PR firm? -------------------------- Brian Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group Open Solutions For A Closed World / Anti-Spam Resources http://www.2mbit.com ICQ: 8077511 ----- Original Message ----- From: "wayne" <wayne@midwestcs.com> To: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 11:14 PM Subject: [MEDIA] McLaughlin Defends Site Finder As 'Innovation'

Without taking a position on the merits of the comparison, your suspicion is in fact correct: Edelman does PR for Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/contactpr.asp Edelman Seattle (206) 223-1606 As well as PR for VeriSign for SiteFinder: From: "Petz, Adrienne" <Adrienne.Petz@edelman.com> To: "'declan@well.com'" <declan@well.com> Subject: VERISIGN ALERT for MONDAY: briefing on SiteFinder -Declan
