NSI (Score 1)

I was under the impression that the whole point of having domain registration competitors was to improve service and prices. NSI has, to a degree, improved their service since they found out they were going to lose their monopoly. I recently changed the NS records on five domains. I had confirmation for 4 of the domain changes within 20 minutes. The fifth domain took 45 days, with an email complaint after thirty, and a telephone call (with a 45 minute long-distance hold) on the 42nd day. So, better, but not great yet. But I don't see how NSI has anything to fear from register.com as yet. The web site looks like it's easier to navigate, but since their using NSI's records, and they don't have NSI's system, some features you have to go to NSI for anyway. How would the telco's survive if you had to get some features from BellSouth to fully utilize BellAtlantic?
