What's this deal about InterNIC forwarding all request to WorldNIC? If I
send in a (filled out) registration template to hostmaster@internic.net,
it's completed by InterNIC...
I think the real fraud is in WorldNIC and other registrars (like Netnames in
the UK) selling vanity names in country TLDs. IANA encourages this.
WorldNIC has an offer for $17,545 USD that will register a domain in all 72
TLDs (or 5 domains in all 72 TLDs for $87,725 USD)...
