This assignment is in two parts. First, you are to conduct research on the
Internet and prepare a comparison/contrast of 5 different companies that offer
DNS services--including pricing, terms of contract, other offerings, and then
finally providing your recommendation as to which is the best solution. PART
TWO - This requires you to also engage in research activities (most likely
via the Internet) in terms of legislation regarding DNS providers and other
legal issues. One hint would be to start with the Telecommunications Act of 1996
and see what comes up. The second part should be a 1-2 page write up and can
include copies of any relevant articles that you encounter.
