They must be more desperate for cash then had been thought before.
Apparently the deliquint renewal notices weren't bringing in enough dough.

Subject: NSI "Unpaid Registration Fees - Business Account Program
Membership"
> We recently recieved this letter from Network solutions. I wanted to know
if any of you recieved a similar letter. This letter arrived shortly after
we started using OpenSRS for all of our registrations. We've done business
with them for years and never had any warning that there was a problem. The
"Business Account Program Membership" allowed us to register domains without
prepay. NSI then bills the customers we registered the domain for, that's
the last we hear about it. This billing model seems really broken in
retrospect, NSI bills their customers but apparently wan't us to collect for
them.
>
> They didn't even mention what domains were delinquent, even after we
requested a list from them. And yes they mistyped the amount of 2500.00.
Needless to say we did make a 2k payment, but it didn't go to NSI :-) Near
as I can figure we generated over 31k of revenue for them in this 5 months,
I can't believe that they would even bring this up. Because of timing on
this can't help it feel like this is some sort of retaliation for not using
their service any more. How do they expect to continue to do business with
this attitude.
