As a low income disabled individual, I rely heavily on my personal .com domains for many aspects of my life. I've had my domains over a decade now and increasing the price 70% would force me to cut some of them. Please reconsider taking Verisign's money in return for increasing prices for the likes of myself.
I doubt big businesses are going to care about these price increases, but they are not the ones most impacted by this.
Thanks for reading!
