- SideburnsOfDoom 14y ago> still, taking 30+ days to register is insane It may just be an indication that the the system is being used for things that it was never intended for. Maybe for the original uses, a 30-day lead time wasn't such a big deal, e.g. "when doing business with the government" over many years.
- Mvandenbergh 14y agoWell the system is designed to facilitate long distance and international trade (with a DUNS number you can look-up how long a business has existed and their payment history) even if you're in Pakistan and they're in Argentina. Since companies dealing in physical goods take much longer than 30 days to set-up anyway the process hasn't traditionally been a constraint. All that "unneccesary information" is very relevant for a textile shipper even if it isn't for someone selling a crossword app.
