I think a lot of good points have been put forth by you, Phil, as well as
by Dean.

The problem is that I'm not sure NetSol cares.

I've seen a lot of registrations for *legitimate* companies -- backbone
providers at that -- with obviously bogus phone numbers like (123) 555-1212
and obviously bogus addresses. What is NSI willing to do about it? Nothing.

Of course, the agreement you sign with them says they will revoke domains
with bogus contact info. Yeah. Right.

(cc'd to Mr. Gomes at the InterNIC because I really want to hear why they
refuse to uphold their end of their contract)
