Actually, they stopped to be a Registrar since they got dot UOL as their new gTLD in 2013.
Daniel Fink and myself have been talking around the country to encourage ISPs and others to become a Registrar, but even if we got reduced exigencies from ICANN we had no success!!
Less and less registrars in the region… the add value is small and they can sell names just becoming a reseller…

“There are now no ICANN accredited registrars in Brazil, following the termination of Universo Online’s contract this week”

According to Domainincite, the accreditation was ended at UOL’s request.

Wasn’t more ICANN accredited registrars seen as crucial for growing the DNS industry especially when it comes to future gTLDs applications coming from the LAC region ?
