Larry Bloch, CEO at domain name and Web hosting company NetRegistry, said
NetRegistry had been involved in trying to stamp out misleading practices

Bloch said a case, such as the one the ACCC was bringing against Internet

unethical practices in the industry. It serves to educate, clarify and correct
confusion, Bloch said.
