[ncdnhc-discuss] .biz rollout further delayed

[David Corish]

To follow-up, here's a quote from Neulevel:

"NeuLevel is taking extra care to ensure our systems will support the early
go-live demand," said Doug Armentrout, CEO of NeuLevel, Inc. "Due to the
significant recent market demand for the new TLDs, including .BIZ, we
concluded that we needed extra time to test our systems in conjunction with
our registrar channel partners. We are determined to turn up our live
registry service with a system that can accept the market's demand,
regardless of the amount of traffic generated."

Was I wrong?
