My girlfriend (in tech support for a small-business ISP-type-service) also
told me that 10-15 of their domains (out of around 350) have magically
been placed 'on hold' because they haven't acknowledged payment.

It's so distressing to see how the InterNIC can implement a policy to
charge for domains, but can't get their head out of dark places long
enough to at least institute a decent billing system.

For my domains, I received a fifteen-times-copied, very faint letter
saying I owe X dollars for the domains, which were hand-written on the
letter.  Very poor system indeed and I'll be the first to encourage
replacing Network Solutions once the contract comes up.
