Actually it's a fine deal for the ISP involved since they get the publicity AND they get to use the $1000 for their first 10 (or 5, etc.) domain registrations. Melbourne IT don't want to deal with the customer directly; both parties win. > I thought the $1,000 was a advance payment on domain names... not a payment > to receive special treatment and recommendation. Remember they're establishing an account for the ISP; the $1000 is the ISP's initial balance and the advantage to the customer who goes through a PISP is that the ISP has already paid Melbourne IT, which reduces delays. > I am highly against this... Im afraid I dont have the spare $1,000 to "BUY" > some recommendation from Melbourne IT... and even if I did.. I wouldnt. $1000 covers 10 domains at most; if an ISP does 10 or more domains a month they're unlikely to complain. Anyway, how much will it cost you to keep those vanity domains past the end of this year? > You can also contact the Bureau: > * by phone on (03) 9344-9366 from 9am-12pm and 2pm-5pm > > Wow... really normal business hours guys... get a clue. Agree. With a potential megabuck coming into Melbourne IT in a few months' time, you can afford to answer the phone at lunchtime. > Set up * a 1.800 number... we aren't all in Melbourne On the other hand, my E-mail to melbourneit.com.au was answered same day.
