US net body challenged over .com

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4482292.stm

The US body which oversees the workings of the internet is being challenged over its handling of the .com domain.
The row concerns the decision by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) to allow the private firm Verisign to maintain control of .com forever.

A trade body for internet businesses says the deal between Icann and Verisign breaks US anti-trust laws.

It has filed a lawsuit against the two parties in San Jose, California.
