Hi There, I'd like to comment that I think the price increases for wholesale .coms is somewhat diproportionate and unfair and the position in which Verisign (who have a long track record of anti-consumer practices) finds itself is likely to be anti-consumer at best and potentially detrimental to the internet. Because they will have such a strangehold on pricing they can essentially create their own monopoly by having a favoured resseller whom they work with. I think this should be avoided at all costs. It would also be great to hear some plans of what ICANN will be doing with the extra funding. Thanks for reading and I urge you to reconsider Regards
