Do you or anyone have a concise list of Intercosmos/Dotster registries?

I'm not making accusations, but I would rather avoid them.

lol i posted a thread about kenya tech few week ago.
Again KENYA TECH is same as Dotster and other 10 - 15 domain registration companies own by intercosmos media inc.
If you use any of their registration companies to do search for domain and don't register it. Their are high chances they would register all those domain name.

Last I heard kenyatech is not owned by or connected to dotster.

Interesting thread. I appreciate the posts and there seems to be increasing evidence about nefarious activity that is occuring within the domaining industry. The real questions is, what do we do about it?

Thanks for the links, AbsolutelyFreeWeb. I hadn't thought of using wikipedia for searches of contemporary business figures. Also gave me a clearer understanding of "peering" and BGP- a procedure and a protocol that both seem to be areas that are open to abuse. The ripoffreport is interesting- in addition to a squatting case that is tied to Kenya Tech, the article gives us a look at cybersquatting through the eyes of someone who isn't in the domain name marketing biz. This guy is an activist who wants to set things right and who, appears, to be someone who will follow thrugh w/ his plans to do so.
