Who are the other wholeshare registrars? Seriously I would really like to
know. So far, I have only heard people mentioning retail registrars, i.e.
ones that OpenSRS is not directly competing against.

Domain Direct is TUCOWS division that competes against the "retail"
registrars.

I foresee the good RSPs (those that know what they are doing) will either
become accredited registrars directly or partner with another registrar that
does not offer the same services as them; and the smaller RSPs (those not
providing any value-added services of their own) will quit since there is no
money in this (when OpenSRS is providing all of the services, all of these
small RSPs will have to compete with each other on price).
Someone else made a comment about using support or customer service as a
competing factor. Since OpenSRS would be providing all of the services,
they would have to provide the support since the RSP would not be able to
get on the OpenSRS servers and fix things.
