Jamie, You should certainly do whatever you feel is the best for your business, but I do have to point out that your statement about the Internic starting it all is very misleading although technically true. There have been three companies who have been the "Internic". It is a job which has been bid out by the NSF and NSI is jusst the current holder of the job. Its like saying that I trust Bill Clinton because hey the President has led the US pretty good for the last two hundred tweny years or so :-) ---> Phil Jamie Rishaw supposedly said: > > Isn't it confusing enough to deal with the InterNIC, let alone > telling a customer "Oh yeah, well we registered it with registry number > 27.." > > I can probably speak for a _lot_ of people when I say that we will > probably continue to do business exclusively with the InterNIC, no > matter how cheap the others are: The InterNIC has proven itself to > me to be reliable, stable, and in the case where problems _do_ come > up they're very responsive.
