That begs the question of where all those $70 registration fees are going? Are they taking any concrete steps to fix their process so that it can handle these loads?

Is anyone else experiencing problems updating contact information at the internic? I have been attempting for two weeks now to update information on three contacts. The templates I'm sending in clearly say "Modify" on line 0a and in the subject line. They keep being returned with a message like so:

It took me three weeks to get my Billing Contact's tele changed. It took a month to get the invoice from new domain registrations. ___________________________________________________ Roeland M.J.
