Actually, the bulk access can be free (depends on the registrar). ICANN provides a clause that allows a registrar to charge UP to $10k for bulk access (that's per registrar).
Some registrars may charge less. Some can refuse - I believe they are only inclined to sell bulk access to other registrars.
