Are IN domains really in?

[MyDigitalpoint]

dot IN domains are still some of the cheaper domains that you can register, only $3.99 through Dynadot and Name.com or cheaper via Whiz.in, but this registrar doesn't accept Paypal payments.

Certainly INFO domains are even cheaper but irremediably linked to both cheapness and spam, so perhaps maybe IN domains is an alternative to INFO, starting with the fact that the URL saves two characters (FO) when typing.

Personally I have registered an IN domain with a matching INFO redirecte to the IN just in case someone is confused with this, but I wonder if this is an "in" way to get some dignirty over INFO domains.
