Has Internic officially announced that they are only allowing 10 registrations per customer per day or is this another arbitrary change?
woah! Where do you get this idea from? I see that their online form won't let you sign up for more than 10 domains at the same time, but I see no problem with that. Please don't post "oh, is the internic doing this" in a way that sounds like you have some reason to think they are without giving that reason. It leads to rampant speculation on things that probably have nothing to do with reality. I'm not saying they aren't doing this, but I am saying that it is silly to post such a statement without posting a reason to back it up. There are enough real reasons to vilify NSI. At least they increased the maximumum number of records returned from 10 to 50 in response to me asking "so, just how can I see the whois record for usa.net?" but that still, of course, doesn't fix the real problem of it being impossible to do a whois lookup on a domain name by domain name, not handle or company name.
