 BCE domain attack
On March 29, 1996, Berkeley Camera Engineering (BCE), a small high tech firm in Hayward, California, received copies of papers sent by Bell Canada Enterprises (Canada's largest telecommunications company: www.bell.ca, www.bce.ca) to NSI demanding that BCE be forced to give up the bce.com domain name which BCE had acquired in 1993.
BCE can proceed with arranging the domain name transfer or wait for NSI's decision on the matter.
If NSI rules that BCE can keep the domain, then that is ok also." My take is that Bell Canada (or at least their counsel, Marc Ryan) is very arrogant about this issue.
