  All domains that end in .org, .net, .edu, .gov, and .com MUST go 
through the InterNIC. Domains ending in .us, .au, .ca, .uk, etc. are 
handled by different organizations. It appears that the organization 
which you pointed out provides a way to register .uk domains which do not 
have to be processed by the InterNIC (damn good thing too, their 
registration process is S-L-O-W!!!)
