Hello,

I do not have a problem with a company using tld.com for their own
website. I do have a problem with a "registrar" offering 3rd level
registrations under tld.com, especially if they tell you that this is
the way the internet is structured, and the reason it is structured
like that is because they have a good deal with [insert name of big icann
registrar]. 
This may not be within our scope, but if I were king I'd rule this out.

Yours,
Marcus
