I agree with this sentiment.
I don't agree with those who, now that they are in, want the bar
raised to make it harder for others.
But the one thing that has differentiated RSPs from each other is the
value added services such as this. Typically the RSPs who had these
services knew what they heck they were doing, because they had at
least the requisite knowledge to set something like this up.
It wasn't that big a differentiation, because learning how to do those
things is VERY easy to do. But it kept the lazy loos who want
everything handed to them on a silver platter and really did not have
the knowledge and expertise (and wasn't willing to do the very simple
things necessary to acquire them) from encroaching on the quality
services offered by those RSPs who took seriously their mandate to be
a value-add.
Now you are taking that away.
I am very much opposed to this. This is going way too far.
I urge OpenSRS to seriously reconsider this plan and rethink their
strategy. With this change in policy, you seriously undermine the
only thing your top RSPs had, their ability to innovate their own
value add in these services.
Even the prospect of OpenSRS offering this is distressing. Will you
next encroach on those of us offering our own web hosting by offering
a low cost wholesale solution for RSPs to market also?
I didn't think this was what OpenSRS was going to be about.
