I'm a french sysadmin that enjoy hosting services for me, my family and my friends around the world (french, german, russian, etc). I'm currently a registrant of a .com domain name, I use the .com TLD because it's for general use and it's not limited to a country. I'm against the price increase of the .COM domains, letting Verisign increase the price every year for 8 out of the next 10 years means that ultimately .COM domains will become less accessible and more expensive for everybody. This will inevitably kill the .COM TLD making it useless, and you know that you can do better for the public interest. -- Jason France
