A price increase affects the whole community of internet users, especially those who create and provide content.
Increasing prices on the .com domain punishes the plurality of small users and content providers who publish on a budget.
This is not a decision to be made behind closed doors with the commercial interest of just one or two companies.
Please include actually affected parties in the decision making process, and keep prices low, to maintain plurality of voices on the internet.
