Sir, As a .com domain holder, please registrar my objection to this proposed change, which while providing Verisign with a monopoly to provide .com licenses allows them also to increase prices without reference to the underlying cost of providing the service. This goes very much against the spirit of the anti-combines act, which recognized that monopolies needed to be regulated to prevent them from garnering excess profits to the detriments of consumers. The counter-part payment to ICANN is a small fraction of the additional profits that the firm will be able to earn by raising prices according to the permitted schedule.
