sometimes the price is not the most important parameter. Someone says "hey, what incoming do you expect from .eu domain when there are people selling them for 2 euros", I reply that there are customers who are most interested in services behind the domain and that would pay much more than 2 euros. It's the market. We have customers that ask us almost every day about this. About the consortium, I agree it's a good idea, but I prefer to stay on solutions that I'm sure will be there in next years. > Manageability & Scaled Risk: Adding levels of complexity regarding > vendors is something that Tucows likes to worry about for you, giving [...] > pondering a consortium or going at it alone.

We're running registration > facilities not lotteries. well...maybe you look at preregistrations from the backend perspective, but we receive mails and call phone from customers asking us for this service and are ready to pay just to try. For the majority of domains it is not a lottery...maybe it will be for sex.eu, but not for all others. I hope tucows will rethink about the fact that customers look at preregistrations more like a service than a lottery. -- ******************************************************************************* Si invita a non inviare email a questa casella per problemi tecnici, altrimenti in caso di assenza nessuno la leggerebbe ed il problema rimarrebbe insoluto.
