Re: ICANNs role [was: Re: On-going ...]

This is the costly bit that a domain registrar isn't going to be likely to do.

Well, you're not likely to get it for the $8.95 that Godaddy charges. Their abuse department does a remarkably good job, considering their volume and margins. Perhaps the message here is that you get what you pay for. For a rock bottom price, You get rock bottom service. There are registrars that charge considerably more and provide considerably more service. ObOperations: I need a 1.5Mb net connection. I'm planning to pay $29.95/month, since I see lots of ads on TV for places offering that. Oh, and I expect five nines reliability and you can bet I will complain loudly and bitterly when I call in an outage at 3 AM and get the answering machine. R's, John
