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 :-(.
