104810 2002-12-11 01:47:00 Because Domainz has no competition at the moment it holds the monopoly over the NZ Domainz registry right? (kinda like an unchallenged Microsoft)

Therefore, in the interests of fair trading and consumer rights couldn't another NZ domain registry be founded to keep competition?

And then at the end of the day they just submit everything to the Domain Name Comissioners office who looks after the big giant database?

104812 2002-12-11 01:58:00 This is from the email Domainz sent out to customers onthe 7th:

Dear Customer,

Saturday December 7 marked the beginning of a new competitive market for . nz
domain name registration services .

Until recently all . nz domain names were registered with Domainz . In this
time, domain name registrations have totalled over 100,000 . Now, with the
decision by our shareholder InternetNZ (www . internetnz . net . nz) to introduce
a shared registration system, other authorised Registrars can offer . nz
domain name registration services .

We're now a Registrar in the new competitive environment and offer you the
same services we always have, plus some new ones .

And to paraphrase No 6 from the classic 1960s TV series The Prisoner, "I am not a geek . I am a free man" .
