Just a few quick thoughts ... I'm not looking for a fight :)

Hypothetically ...
If your main competitors are Netsol, RCOM, etc., then I'm guessing your
business model revolves around registrations. And let's assume that what
currently distinguishes you from them is your value-added services ...
which I'm guessing that other RSPs don't offer.
So, all of a sudden, *all* the RSPs offer the same value-add services as
you.
Now your main competitors are Netsol, RCOM, and all the other RSPs. And
it becomes either a price war, a service war, a big consolidation of the
industry, or all of the above.
Or did I miss something?
