Actually, in the US you must offer the same service at the same price to
everyone. For example, when I was a CD-ROM drive distributer for Hitachi,
they made it clear to me that they had to charge the same price per unit
for 50 units to each of their customers who purchased in that quantity. If
their customers had enough credit, they had to sell to them. They didn't
like what some customers did with the drives. They sold them in the
marketplace in ways that made Hitachi look bad, but they had no right to
refuse them service. It may well be that in other countries, manufacturers
and merchants can do what they want without government regulation. I still
think it is a bad idea for Registrars to go down that path. The market
place will sort it all out.
