  to wait for so long?

  sure i would. mainly because telstra have given guarantees, and youre 
 paying for a service. (not so sure about installing telephone lines, but
 we all know about telstra's performance guarantees, and fault attendance
 times for isdn.) 

  if we paid for domains, then i would agree, 2 weeks is unacceptable,
 however, we arent, its done voluntarily, and as far as im aware, there
 are no guarantees.

  and before you say "thats what this debate is about" - yes i realise that,
 but remember, CURRENTLY we dont, regardless of the amount of debate we 
 engage in.

: In my experience in different business related fields, yesterday isn't fast 
  enough once a company decides it wants something. Even when the guidelines 
  are adhered to there are always grey-area applications. I've registered 
  domains where I was amazed that it was rejected and other where I was 
  pleasantly surprised that they were accepted...

  sure. im sure almost everyone whos registered a domain can come up with
 experiences that are similar.

  as far as business wanting things yesterday, im sure we could now spiral
 off into a debate about customer service etc, but thats hardly relevant
 to the topic now is it ?
