i understand your worries/fears about .in vis-a-vis cheap promotional pricing, but the inregistry has confirmed that it will end this september...thats only a few months away, and we will soon get to a point where some will not remember when the last promo pricing happened. COntrary to what some people think, i actually like the promo pricing-as long as it doesn't last forever. .in is witnessing about 12K registrations/month without hte promo pricing, but experiences 30K regs/month with the promo pricing, so IMO, its still worth a few bad eggs(like uqwaaa.in) to have .in attain more volume. What about people who register .ins durign the promo price and build a website on it but then pay normal renewal price the next year? Also, judging from the fear many .in domainers have regarding registering adult .ins, one can draw the conclusion that India will continue to effectively monitor the .in space going forward.
