I'm not sure that it's quite as difficult as you suggest in Finland. Formally (IIUC), the situation is the same: the Tier-1 registry (FICORA, IENUM) only deals with Tier-2 registrars/service-providers. As a startup initiative, IENUM is offering an interim Tier-2 registrar-of-last-resort service. It may be that there is a sufficient number of approachable Tier-2 service providers in Finland for this not to be needed over there. I don't know. Certainly, the FICORA web site seems to avoid giving any helpful hint. Maybe Klaus would like to comment? /Niall
