Network Solutions has had questionable ethics since day one. The one that stands out in my mind is when they (if they don't still) auctioned off expired domain names to the highest bidder instead of just putting them back in the pool. And no, I don't mean domain name pre-orders, I mean ALL of them, in fact, I'm not sure they even had domain name pre-orders back when they started the practice.

Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Solutions#Controversy_over_Domain_name_front_running for related info on their latest fiasco.
