I am a registrant of several .com domain names. This price increase by Verisign is a theft. Not only will this theft hurt the internet as it is, but it will also hurt internet businesses of the future. It is only because Verisign wants to make a quick buck. But ICANN is also at fault here. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Do your job ICANN and keep thieves like Verisign at bay from hurting the general public. Regards, Edgar
