Back when domain registration was free, InterNIC would actually check the name servers you named, making sure that they were reachable and had proper NS and SOA records for your new domain. If not, your registration was put on hold until you fixed things. Now that they're charging money for the service, evidently they can no longer afford to do this :-(.
