I don't expect DE-NIC to be free of any charge, since there IS work to do
and a host and hostmaster to be paid for, but DE-NIC tries to make a 
quick buck out of the internet boom.
Hit the right people! DE-NIC located at University of Karlsruhe is acting
behalf of IV-DENIC which is a consortia of eight german ISP, namely

	de.dfn
	de.ecrc
	de.eunet
	de.gtn
	de.maz
	de.nacamar
	de.xlink
	and PAN AMP GmbH which is not yet registered as RIPE contributor

DE-NIC is run by University of Karlsruhe as a three-year contract. DE-NIC
acts as maintainer of the toplevel domain DE and still runs the last resort
registry. Until Aug, 31th services were payed by the IV-DENIC and registration
of a secondlevel domain had to come via an IV-DENIC member. Since Sep, 1st
everyone can use services from DE-NIC on a cost basis calculated on figures
for running the DE-NIC in 1995 and agreed upon by all IV-DENIC members.
