[registrars] [Fwd: motley fool quote]
The following appeared in Motley Fool today
http://www.fool.com
You've seen stories like this before, and you
will see stories like this forever if the agreement
is approved:
-- By allowing five new companies to compete in the registrar business,
-- including Register.com and America Online (NYSE: AOL), the move was
-- supposed to level the playing field.
--
-- Somewhat, that is. The companies still have to pay Network Solutions
-- $6 a year to maintain the master database. While that's a fraction of
-- the $70 for two years that Network Solutions charges -- and it
-- opened up the realm of discounted domain registration sites to as low
-- as $9.99 a year -- it had little impact on the volume of Network
-- Solutions' business. By the end of the year, it still commanded just
-- over 70% of all new registrations.
Notice how it says "the companies still have to
pay Network Solutions $6 a year to maintain the master
database"
Either way we will have to pay $6
per name.
But if the agreement isn't approved the
stories won't mention a company that
our customers can go directly to to purchase
a domain name.
(Seems the 70% figure is a little out of date.)
