Verisign to keep .net registry

Verisign, run both .com and .net have effectively won the re-tender for the .net TLD.

The turnover for .net is around $40 million so a fairly valuable win, especially as there will be almost no variable cost in having .net on of .com, for Verisign.

was hoping Denic would come out on top as they have a good record with .de, which is even bigger than .net, and were looking IIRC at a much lower registry price. But not to be.
