CompTIA To Retire i-Net+

CompTIA has announced the worldwide retirement of the i-Net+ certification effective Dec. 31 (except for the Japanese version, which will retire on March 31, 2008). Following the success of A+ (hardware) and Network+ (networking), CompTIA launched i-Net+ at a time when many were still trying to figure out what Internet technology really was. The exam covered some of the material from Network+, but also included a basic knowledge of protocols and technologies specific to Internet/intranet/extranet application.

The exam and certification, good for life, never attracted as much attention as many other CompTIA offerings, and its popularity suffered for a number of years before the decision to abandon it was announced.
