Name.Space is a domain name registry offering domain services in top-level domain names (TLDs) such as ".ART" ".CAM" ".LAW" ".MEDIA", ".SEX," and hundreds of other alternatives to the standard "com." "org." and "net." The company has processed thousands of requests for such TLDs.
Name.Space was founded by Paul Garrin in 1996. The company’s CEO and CTO are Alex Mashinsky and Alfred Vazquez, respectively.
On March 20, 1997, Name.Space filed antitrust suit against Network Solutions in Federal Court, claiming that NSI was unfairly using its monopoly position to control the market while hiding behind its contract with the United States government.
Our business model is that of social enterprise, and a large part of our mission is to establish a public good out of the economics of Internet domain name registration fees. (much in the way that telco and cable company franchise fees subsidize public access tv).
Presently such a direct economic public good is absent from the Internet economy. the future of telco and cable franchise fees to subsidize public access tv is uncertain. There needs to be such a public good established out of the Internet economy.
We recently filed an anti-trust suit against the new boss, ICANN. Stay tuned for updates on the proceedings.
