Hi,

Well. It's a _rebate_, isn't it? We are not getting .info-s for $1 -
instead, for every 10 pieces of .info registered we get "free" credit
for 9 other domains.

Just don't think .info costs $1 now. :-) It's a promotion, that's all.
If we would really be getting and selling .info for $1, we [I mean: all
resellers] could maybe get a million(?) new registrations in a few
months or so. But will those registrants who go for this low price pay
the renewal fee after 1 year?

Just my 2 cents...
