This is the kind of stability the DoC has broght us. Let's think back, waaaaaaaaay back to how this all started. You registered a domain name in say, 1986. Then 10 years later you got a bill. Why? Because a small number of people decided you would. Interpol losing it's name is just rediculous. I've lost names, and Chris did just recently. I don't have much sympathy for either of is. It's a shame and all but there ya go. By my God, Interpol? Does whitehouse.gov have this problem? Does merit.edu have this problem ? No. Why not? They don't pay. They don't get billed. No problem. Their domains are immortal, just like com used to be. Think outside the box. All the worlds not .com! To use .com as an example, or yardstick for new tlds is seriously brain damaged. When .com became pay for all the two letter tlds followed suit, ending up with the .TV madness on your screen now.
