If you're a small pacific island nation state with a limited budget, and a working submarine cable, maintaining a SCPC geostationary satellite service that might be $20,000 a month (on 36-60 month term) in transponder kHz may seem like a very large ongoing expense.Redundancy seems like it could be covered by increasing the cost of a .to domain.
I think you vastly overestimate how much money there is in domain registrations if your name is not Verisign or Godaddy.
DNS for .to domains seems to be working just fine, but whois lookups for .to domains fail with a timeout.
Well, sure, the DNS has mirrors all over the place: $ host -t ns to. to name server frankfurt.tonic.to. to name server singapore.tonic.to. to name server colo.tonic.to. to name server tonic.to. to name server sydney.tonic.to. to name server newyork.tonic.to. to name server helsinki.tonic.to. Dunno why WHOIS would fail since traceroutes say the WHOIS server is in California. R's, John
