Technology News | New Net Domain 'Fiasco'

Media sources reports that up to a quarter of the early registrations for the new .info domain name could be bogus.

According to BBC Online, a study of 11,000 registrations has shown a failure of the steps taken to stop people winning control of domains they do not have the right to run.

Legal experts have called the whole process a fiasco, and have told BBC Online news that the company administering the .info domain could face legal challenges from those denied a chance to apply for some generic .info domains.
