Quoting Support on Thursday December 13, 2001:
| I am still confused! How are prices going to drop and stay down when it
| appears we go from one Monopoly to another?
| 
| I would have thought that something like ICANN does with lots of Official
| Registrars would be in the market place!
| 
| I woul dhave thought! MelbourneIT would still Be an afficial Registrar and
| they would add like the new party so there would be 2 Registrar's!
| 
| I may be missing something but if I am then so will the general Public!

The monopoly is for the registry (i.e. what AUNIC is today), not the
registrar. There will be competition at the registrar level.
