[registrars] Is it a promotion or a spam. I sure don't know.

Dear Colleagues:

I don't know if it's a spam but it looks like good news.  If I read it 
correctly, it says NSI will no longer grant credit to Registrants.

Your analysis?

Dear William Connelly,

As a customer of Network Solutions or one of our Premier Program members, 
we'd like to update you on three important items:

1. On September 18, 1999, Network Solutions plans to move to a new 
Web-based prepayment process for registering domain names.  At that point, 
we will no longer accept NEW registrations without payment in full at time 
of registration.  This new online payment method gives customers the 
convenience of payment by credit card. THIS CHANGE DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR 
CURRENT DOMAIN(S) IN ANY WAY AND NO ACTION IS REQUIRED ON YOUR PART.

If you register ten or more domain names per month, you could be eligible 
for Network Solutions' Affiliates or Business Account Programs. Under these 
programs, you may qualify to continue receiving invoices for domain name 
registrations.  To be eligible, you must apply at 
http://www.netsol.com/affiliates or http://www.netsol.com/business_account.

2. Because you registered your domain name with us, your company has 
received a FREE listing in the NEW dot com directory.  We believe the dot 
com directory gives you a unique competitive advantage, enabling potential 
customers to find and do business with you.  Search the directory for your 
own business to see how easy it is!  Go to http://www.netsol.com/directory 
to find your business.  You can also click on "Update Your Listing" to 
search for and verify your company information.

3. Lastly, we are pleased to offer you a FREE e-mail account using our new 
dot com now mail service. Because it's Web-based, you can use it in the 
office, at home or on the road. You'll need the following information to 
set up your account:
  >>>>>>>>>>>>Login name:  connelly163
  >>>>>>>>>>>>Password:    connelly163nsi

Please visit http://www.netsol.com/dotcomnowmail to review all the features 
of dot com now mail and set up your account.

Thank you for choosing Network Solutions to launch and develop your 
Internet identity.  We look forward to serving you for many years to come.
