Dear sir or madam, I am writing today to express my concern over the increased price of the .com TLD. I, like many others use this for personal use and do not make money off the use of the name. Already the price of my domains have increased 50% over the last few years and I am considering dropping some of those domains. Now you are considering increasing that even more. Some of the domains I own I am fairly certain are not usable by a business, and once the price gets to a certain level, I will drop those .com domains. So even though you increase the price, I believe the overall effect will be for individuals like myself to stop using the most expensive TLD and it may actually result in a reduced revenue stream, not more. Kind Regards, Doug Springer
