In most agreements between resellers and companies, the terms and
conditions of the agreement may be modified at will by the company.
Any person or business that has based any kind of emphasis on profit
from "Domain Names" is probably fooling itself. It could never be a
profit centre like it once was for "Network Solutions." That is probably
why the USA government "opened" it up.
Regards the domain name price of USD $10, I don't see where anyone can
have a complaint..
Everyone on this list is welcome to become a "Registrar" themselves,
goto www.icann.org and send your cheques to the various authorities,
hire the personnel to maintain the systems, the accounting people to
make sure that everything runs properly....
So I can't see anyone complaining about 10 bucks...
I think OpenSRS and Tucows have done a great job in opening up the
registration process to small ISP's and Hosting companies.
Way to go OpenSRS!!!!
A very happy customer
