well I noticed over the weekend that Verisign had NOT removed their wildcards. I noticed this on the 5th, a day after the ICANN deadline for the removal of wildcards.

Lets see what they decide to do now.


<EDIT>

well strike that. I just saw that Verisign did indeed pull the plug... you can see the article from the Register here

oh I found this humorous

"Without so much as a hearing, ICANN today formally asked us to shut down the SiteFinder service," said Russell Lewis in a statement. "We will accede to the request while we explore all of our options." Somewhat rich considering VeriSign introduced SiteFinder without consulting a soul.
