I have been doing website design and development for small and medium businesses since 1999. In that time, I have helped many organizations reach a larger audience than they had with older traditional media.
While I understand price increases are a part of life, the proposed changes could potentially hurt my clients who watch every dollar spent on their business. Potentially raising .com prices by 70% or more over the next ten years sounds like adding an unreasonable burden to small businesses.
Prices for domain name registrations and renewals should be controlled to allow businesses of all sizes to remain competitive in the market that is increasingly being controlled by larger corporations.
