Registrars - and domain "service"

[Tim Otterbein <totter@estreet.com>]

Dear Sirs;
    This note is to express extreme displeasure with the
current status of Domain Name Service with US "Accredited
Registrars" and Network Solutions, Inc.  With the advent of
these "registrars" of domain names such as
"Register.com" and
Network Solution's "WorldNic",  ISP's and webhosts often
are unable to provide professional level Domain administration
service.  

   These problems are becoming more and more frequent as people
are led to believe they must use services such as
"Register.com" and "WorldNic" to register domain
names. The incredibly cumbersome systems these "registrars" use
to manage domains make it difficult, if not impossible, for the client or
their ISP to transfer domains for service.  This is an unacceptable
standard of practice brought about by these companies that use their
positions as "registrars" to funnel domains and clients to
specific webhosting companies.  

    E Street Communications, Inc., a webhost and ISP in
Denver CO, has lost numerous customers to these practices.  We will
continue to voice our displeasure of the practices of companies such as
"Register.com" and "WorldNic",
et
al.  We will also continue to document each occurrence for
potential future action against the these companies.  
  
   Hopefully some fairness and reason will descend on this
business before companies such as ourselves are forced out of business by
these unscrupulous practices that are being enabled and condoned by
ICANN.
