Re: [registrars] BizLock?

[Jim Archer <jarcher@registrationtek.com>]

Increasingly, registrars are becoming nothing but low level resellers for 
the registries.  We have "thick" registries, email fowarding services, WLS 
and now this.  As a group, registrars have been marginalized to the point 
where it is extremely difficult to be different that any other registrar. 
Every time we come up with something to offer, the registries just start to 
sell it.
