.US TLD Owners Lose Privacy

["Fergie (Paul Ferguson)" <fergdawg () netzero net>]

> From WiReD:

"The U.S. Commerce Department has ordered companies
that administer internet addresses to stop allowing
customers to register .us domain names anonymously
using proxy services."

"The move does not affect owners of .com and .net
domains. But it means website owners with .us domains
will no longer be able to shield their name and
contact information from public eyes."
