Network Solutions will offer 50% off coupons to each party, giving them a great bargain of just $17.50 per year. And the lawyers will get cash. I can see the settlement now.

But it should be 5 minutes, not 5 days. This should be a convenience for the customer and not a method for tricking a customer into a higher price.

I kept searching for domains on Netsol.com - found that they were available, then the next day or so would goto Godaddy.com to register them and find that they were taken. After my initial shock and frustration - i realized that Godaddy must have just been wrong/mistaken/or broken and went on my way with registering the domains via Netsol. Sucks that for this reason (mentioned in the article) alone I was forced to pay Netsol's 35.00/yr instead of Godaddys much more affordable 9.99/yr for both domains I wanted.

ICANN has had the ability to do something about domain tasting and has done nothing. What netowrk solutions is doing is no different than domain tasting. It keeps domain names from legitimate users wanting to register them. Thanks for posting it and for pointing out this is not about money for me.
