VeriSign announces retirement of CFO George E. Kilguss.
Newly disclosed documents show that Berkshire Hathaway, owned by Warren Buffett, invested an additional $28.55 million in Internet domain registration company VeriSign in the three trading days ending Christmas Eve last week, strengthening its position as the company's largest shareholder.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is calling for an antitrust investigation into the web domain registration business. The Democratic lawmaker from Massachusetts — working with Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) — wrote last week to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and Department of Justice to enforce competition in the top-level domain (TLD) market. At the moment, Warren said in her announcement, that market is controlled by a company called Verisign. Anyone who wants a website address ending in .com — a TLD used by 150 million websites — must pay the company a yearly fee
