I didn't hear anything like that from the various NSI
folks at ISPCON; doesn't mean it isn't true, but I'd
say it's unlikely.
More likely, this is a misunderstanding of what they
/did/ do, which is stop making the zone files for .COM,
.NET, and .ORG anonymously FTP'able.
If you can prove you've got a good reason to FTP 'em,
they'll give you a login and password; I know of a few
people who've done it already.
For more rumours of this type, check out the inet-access
mailing list, <inet-access-request@earth.com>.
