I don't know if it's against ICANN law or not, but the application requires fairly minimal detail on why you're becoming a registar.
They have also stated, they are only there to make sure registrars meet the minimal standard they're not there to stop people becoming registrars.

I've been filling out the application. you only need 70k in your bank account, with insurance up to 500k. Those hardware costs are a bit exorbitant, I could do it MUCH cheaper.
