I have to say that I have been having the same problem with them. I have
been waiting for a .net and its almost 3 months since the domain has been
"expired" and no updates have been made on the domain in that time. I have
tried contacting the administrative contact but they don't respond (of
course).
Is there a way you can rock NSI's world to get the domain or are they
forever lost within the sub-space ether??
(not had good dealings with them before and dont expect to this time either)
