I am, personally and through several businesses, a registrant of multiple .com domain names.
When does the corporate greed end? With ICANN being the only provider for their services – we, the public, are beholden to them much like a monopoly. I would like to see where price increases are going – what services are being improved and generally, what is the justification for continuous incremental price hikes?
I do not see how Verisign has any business dictating prices anyway – they provide no value in the domain registration process – they are simply a manager of the .COM registry. It is the ultimate example of corporate bureaucracy – inserting a middleman where none is needed – simply to generate money.
Really guys, come back to earth.
