Greetings, I run a small web design and hosting business in Killeen Texas, USA and am concerned about potential price increase for .COM. Web design and hosting has become such a low margin activity in this day and age even slight increases puts at risk the clients desire to outsource or keep in house to keep costs low. Small incremental increases to keep up with costs is one thing but the information I have read appears that you can charge up to 70% higher in under 10 years seems astronomical. I request that you work with the internet users, not just those who can enrich themselves, and be very transparent. Please have an equal blaance between the operator Verisign, ICANN, and the community, with equal voices for all. Thank you.
