Right.... which is why it is important that people getting into the registrar business actually WANT to become a registrar.
However, if you are in India, your monthly overhead will be much lower than in the states (ie, salaries of IT staff)
So having a benefactor that is willing to assure that you make a profit every month in exchange for exclusive access to a certain function of your service without really effecting your service as a whole... could be seen as a good thing.
