Hi Mark,
Yes got the SEO world all stirred up (where I spend 90% of my time) -
Apparently they may have become registrars to gain access to information
otherwise hidden to us mere mortals. Supposedly, a registrar has access
to the detailed contact, billing and administrative information that are
assigned to all domain names that are registered, no matter if you are
the registrar for that domain name or not.
Some believe that they will use this information to track down link
spammers and fight spam at a higher level.
Anyone at Tucows care to comment ;)
Best
