Isn't it confusing enough to deal with the InterNIC, let alone telling a customer "Oh yeah, well we registered it with registry number 27.."
You don't register "with" a registrar, you register "through" them with CORE. No matter who you register through, it lands in the same data base.
I can probably speak for a _lot_ of people when I say that we will probably continue to do business exclusively with the InterNIC, no matter how cheap the others are: The InterNIC has proven itself to me to be reliable, stable, and in the case where problems _do_ come up they're very responsive. They basically started the whole ballgame, why change?
1. Business decisions which are adequate to the purpose and which greatly simplify the running of the business are almost always to be preferred. If dealing with NSI achieves this, so much the better for you. It will, however, be interesting to see whether NSI's limited choice of top-level names (for now) is preferred by your 2. You are, indeed, fortunate to have missed the many and varied problems that NSI has experienced in learning to do their business, such as multiple billings and inappropriate holds on names. 3. NSI didn't start anything and certainly nothing to do with .com. This all pre-dated them by many years. d/ ---------------------------- Dave Crocker, Director +1 408 246 8253 Internet Mail Consortium (f) +1 408 249 6205 127 Segre Place dcrocker@imc.org Santa Cruz, CA 95060 USA http://www.imc.org Also: iPOC member, expressing personal opinions http://www.iahc.org
