It all depends on the definition of "service". The registries argue that
what they provide is the registration function (insert a record into a
database) and a management function (let me modify those records). The
actual content of those records is of little consequence for their
business model - we're the ones with the end-users, not them. Hence,
registrars are often left holding the economic bag - which has the
result of passing a lot of unecessary costs along to end-users.
