As a user of ".com" domain I'm strongly disagree and very disappointed in the way you took a decision like the unjustified price increase without considering any input from Internet users on these critical decisions.
In my case for example I'm an owner of a small local e-commerce in Colombia South America. All my customers doesn't have the same buying power as the ones in developed countries like USA. If I increase my prices reflecting your new policy, I won't be competitive in my market.
For this reason I will have no choice than close my business and stop using my domain.
I hope you understand and put a second thought into the repercussions of this new policy in small business around the world like the mine.
Sincerely,
Herbert vargas
