I wholeheartedly don't believe in .COM price adjustments based on the following grounds/reasonings: * I am a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business). * I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. * No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. * The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. * Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price. * ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest.
