Interestingly, the article continues to indicate that the additional fee
is, in fact, a tax, and the NSF's *agent*, Network Solutions, will
collect it on the Government's behalf.
Hmm. Well, if NSI is only an agent for NSF, then perhaps they are an agent
for the DB as well. What exactly is NSI doing as an agent for the NSF?
Administering its records?? Perhaps a point for Karl to bring out in the
next letter...
