SiteFinder offline

According to heise.de, Verisign has taken down the controversial SiteFinder. Verisign redirected any access to non registered .com and .net domains to their SiteFinder.
It seems that an ultimatum from the ICANN was the source of this takedown, which gave Verisign until 6pm pacific to shut down SiteFinder.
Verisign is looking into which options they still have to reactivate SiteFinder. The alexa.com statistic shows that Verisign will lose massive amounts of visitors through their discontinuation of SiteFinder.
