I object to the private deal between ICANN and Verisign signing over control of parts of the public internet to a private company. This is not in the public interest. I further object to the price rises that have happened in the recent past and that are proposed for the future. These price rises are beyond the cost of service provision and will be detrimental to the wide provision of .com domains. At atomisation of the internet where .com domains are the purview of only deep-pocketed corporations is not in the public interest.
