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.

Are you aware how backlogged ICANN is?
It would take over a year for them to review your application (AFAIK).
Like Luc said, there is a reason that the bigger players don't start their own registrars.
However I believe NameScout are somehow related.
