Yes, and what happens if I register muhhk.usa with you (assuming this to be a commercial advert) and someone else registers muhhk.usa with DotUSA.com?
This is my *Big Problem* with the alternative registrars: that there is insufficient coordination to ensure that SLD's within given TLD's are *not* duplicated (no technical reason why multiple registrars cannot coordinate registrations with a given TLD). This is an absolutely bonkers situation. Think of the chaos if different telephone companies sold the same phone number to different companies or individuals, or if parcel couriers recognised the same address as different places.
ICANN should be the place where this coordination happens. But it's not, for, I suspect, commercial reasons.
PS. All these domains prices seem very high for essentially a handful of lines in a text file. I have seen .co.uk 3LD domains advertised for £8.50 for two years, which is a quite reasonable price.
