If you have a 1000 .info pre-regs, you need to cover them all. That's
$20 000 by tomorrow ;)
Any RSP with that kind of volume should contact their Account Manager
and get signed up to the Extended Credit Plan. TUCOWS will help cover
that outlay.
I doubt the de-dupe will be at 98% but the system can't make any
assumptions.
The advantage to this process is that it's simple and is unlikely to
interfere with our submission to Afilias. I think you'll agree that this
is most important.
