Yeah, but there's not way in hell you're gong to find resellers to make a
living with "backdoors deals", unless some self regulated administration
somewhere will pay registrars for their survival ( actually, that's what
they do in Formula one sometimes with teams that are the back of the grid
with a shoe string budget ) ... but surely this industry is a lot less
exciting than a good ol' race ... but that was a serious question I was
asking, how can you make a buck as a new registrar ( not with id.au anyway ,
it's not going to work ) ? or basically, what's so exciting about becoming a
registrar ?

Ginge,

What do you think will change, if anything, in the 'new world'?

The same players, the same scammers, the same 'back door deals' we have
seen all too frequently.
