<div style="color: #181818;font-family: Arial;font-size: 12px;line-height: 18px;text-align: left;padding-right: 0px;">Verisign shares have plunged 15 percent, wiping $850 million off the company's value, on the news that it will not be allowed to raise prices on dot-com domains for the next six years.
<p class="p1">
The current wholesale price for dot-coms stands at $7.85 and the company had already agreed a six-year extension on its right to exclusively sell the domains with DNS overseeing organization ICANN. That agreement mirrored one signed in 2006 that allowed Verisign to raise the price by seven percent in four of the six years the contract ran.</p>
However the contract was subject to approval by the US Department of Commerce and it decided to remove the price-rise clause before signing. A <a href="http://dot-nxt.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1811915b93740665fec761e71&id=406d7219ce&e=4a354f8d1b" style="color: #FF4F00;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: none;"><span class="s1">short statement</span></a> issued by the DoC quoted Assistant Secretary Larry Strickling saying that "consumer will benefit from Verisign's removal of the automatic price increase".<br>

<p class="p3">
Efforts to make the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) into a supra-regional Internet registry have been ditched, at least for the time being. Attendees at the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA) were surprised with a last-minute proposal, aggressively pushed by the Arab States, that the ITU become a provider of IP addresses. Discussion within Committee 4 had been focused on the allocation of IP addresses and in particular the provision of IPv6 address blocks. </p>

Foolish as it may be, we have some predictions for what will happen between now and the end of WCIT. Here they are:
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li2">
Nothing radical will appear in the ITRs. Instead it will be agreed that they will be reviewed in four or eight years' time and a range of working groups will be formed to work on various issues and report to the Council next year, take it to the ITU Plenipotentiary for initial review in 2014, and onto the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA) in 2016</li>
</ul>

Day 2: Put off to tomorrow what you can't do today</h5>
After a busy start, WCIT started to settle down into a familiar mode on the second day of the conference. The main highlights were:
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li2">
A bid by Canada and the US to get some key definitions agreed before work starts was pushed off until the end of the week</li>
<li class="li2">
The meeting delegates all agreed that they agreed with freedom of expression and human rights but that they didn't want to write it into a telecoms treaty - a press release was produced instead...</li>
