Senator Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Jerry Nadler recently wrote a latter
complaining that VeriSign overcharges for for .com domains due to
its market power and sent it to the Department of Justice and the
National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA.)
While you can make a reasonable case that the claim is true, two more interesting
questions are ``Why now?'' and ``Why bother?"

ICANN has spent years trying to figure out what to do with domain name variants, strings that
look different but mean the same thing, for some definition of "the same."
They've been trying to deal with them in second level domains for a decade, and are now
working on rules to allow variant top-level domains.
Unfortunately, variants don't work. The problem isn't putting them in the DNS, it's that
once they're in the DNS, they don't work anywhere else.
