Who would even dare to guarantee such a thing as a 99% uptime for NT? I wonder why the article never mentioned WHO guarantees it, that would be interesting...
Perhaps free was the wrong word. I meant more of an open DNS system where we wouldn't have one company dictating prices and policies. I have absolutely no problem paying an administrative cost for a domain, which really isn't the issue here. This whole thing just reminds me of the CDDB problem, only this time its a lot more important than entering a bunch of cd information into an free server. NSI has the power to define how and what the VAST majority of people on the internet see and do, and they're proving to be nothing more than a money-hungry corporation.
You have to wonder why they're taking the time to alienate the kind of people who *will* take the time to find someone other than NSI for registration just because of this runaround.
So when do we start up some sort of free DNS service and bypass all the corporate greed?:)

I was hoping for something a little juicier than that... its been a slow day. :)
I must have missed something. What's the big deal with the name '2.2.7' anyways?

That just plain sucks.
