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. They basically started the whole ballgame,
why change?
