VeriSign Site Finder Service Update
VeriSign Will Temporarily Suspend Web Navigation Service in Order to 
Continue To Work With Internet Community Towards a Long-Term Implementation
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct 3, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- 
VeriSign, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRSN javascript:_NewsTicker('VRSN')), the 
leading provider of critical infrastructure services for the Internet 
and telecommunications networks, today announced that it will 
temporarily suspend its Site Finder, a new service to improve Web 
navigation for Internet users.
"Without so much as a hearing, ICANN today formally asked us to shut 
down the Site Finder service. We will accede to the request while we 
explore all of our options," said Russell Lewis, executive vice 
president of VeriSign's Naming and Directory Services Group. "During the 
more than two weeks that Site Finder has been operational, there is no 
data to indicate that the core operation of the Domain Name System or 
stability of the Internet has been adversely affected. ICANN is using 
anecdotal and isolated issues to attempt to regulate non-registry 
services, but in the interests of further working with the technical 
community we will temporarily suspend Site Finder."
Launched September 15, Site Finder provides useful tools for Internet 
users who mistype a domain name or attempt to connect to a web site that 
doesn't exist. Instead of receiving a cryptic error message, users 
receive a Web page that offers a search box, a "Did You Mean?" listing 
of similar domain names, and a listing of popular categories related to 
the search request. Through Thursday, Oct. 2, Site Finder has been used 
more than 40 million times by Internet users to get where they want to 
go online.
"The service has been well received by millions of Internet users who 
appreciate getting navigation tools as opposed to the 'dead end' of an 
error message," added Lewis.
VeriSign announced on September 23 that it has established a Technical 
Review Panel comprised of Internet community leaders to help gather and 
analyze feedback about Site Finder. That panel will assist VeriSign in 
the long-term implementation of Site Finder.
"The next several weeks will be a test as to whether innovation will 
occur within the Internet infrastructure. The fact is that while the 
Internet has been used for innovative purposes over the last decade, the 
core infrastructure has suffered from a lack of innovation," said Lewis. 
"VeriSign will argue vigorously for innovation because it not only 
improves the Internet user experience but has implications for the 
vitality of the DNS system and economic competitiveness and job growth."
