NSF AND NSI END INTERNET INTELLECTUAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND PORTION OF
DOMAIN
NAME REGISTRATION FEES
 
The National Science Foundation (NSF) and Network Solutions, Inc. (NSI)
today announced the end of the Internet Intellectual Infrastructure Fund
portion of domain name registration charges. As a result, the annual fee
for
domain name registration, which has been $50 since fees were imposed in
1995, will decline to $35, reducing the cost of domain name registration
by
30 percent. *The change will be effective April 1, 1998.*
