I second this. It makes no sense to pay more than the retail price for bulk
prices ! I have already seen some people switching over to other registrars.
As much as OpenSRS may like us to believe that other price competitive
registrars are going bust, there is little evidence to suggest that. Even if
that would have been happening, Rest of the registrars would only be too
happy to service us with our existing domain name inventory.
