What is found most intersting on their website is:
While I know what they are trying to say here... they could have worded it better!

Why is CompTIA retiring CompTIA i-Net+?
The job of the Internet professional has changed and CompTIA i-Net+ no longer validates the necessary skills.
I am preparing to take CompTIA i-Net+. Should I still take the exam?
Yes, if you are preparing to take CompTIA i-Net+, we encourage you to certify and validate your knowledge.

Very interesting news, Quinnt, thanks for your post.
Never really bothered to see what this specific certification was about, but it seemed to be one of the less popular certs from CompTIA. While it is definitely not good news for people currently holding the credential, I believe this is a step that needed to be taken.

yes this is different than Network+.
I have a feeling they are getting rid of it due to the unpopularity of it. It is costing them more money to update/maintain/market/etc it, then it is making in test fees. Other wise they would just go ahead and update like they do A+.
