known to force some of the registrars to shut down site
operations during drop times to their other customers.

WLS wasn't even in the news 2 years ago or so when BD
broke 150k domains or when UltSearch broke 50k, yet they
didn't become registrars.
yeah well they had direct access, ultsearch through melbourneIT, and buydomains had access to different direct connects. It wasn't so crowded then, and there were still existing registrars who could be recruited to give them RRP access.

How do you know pool is paying 20k a month? I find that hard to believe.
