Netcraft: Microsoft Approved as ICANN Registrar

Microsoftがドメインを売買できるICANN Registrarになるみたいです。Googleは昨年ICANN Registrar担って居るみたいです。

Microsoft's could use its new status to sell domain names for its Office Live small business hosting service, which is scheduled to come out of beta on Nov. 15 and provides a free domain name with each account. This would probably save Microsoft money on each domain sold, as wholesalers like Melbourne IT typically charge a small mark-up over the base fees from the central registry
