You have to have your nameserver listed with internic (for .com and .net - ie, your nameserver has to show up in the NAMESERVER whois (note: different than DOMAIN whois) on http://www.internic.net/whois.html) and also for each TLD you want to provide service for (ie, .org, .mobi, etc etc) . If you are using opensrs it's pretty simple to list your nameserver with local and foreign tlds, but with other Registrars - you'd have to check into the details. It's generally easier to use a local domain for the nameservers (ie, ns1.example.mobi for .mobi domains.) but it is also possible to use foreign nameservers (ie, ns1.example.com to resolve www.example.mobi - is considered "foreign")
