The monopolization of .com domains is unacceptable and all TLD should not be able to operate a domain name registrar and also NOT be able to control and raise the prices .COM at the same time. The additional money that ICANN receives from Verisign with no transparency in terms of spending plans is also shady and questionable. Please leave the prices alone for .COM domains to ensure that creating an online presence is accessible for all who wish to have a .COM domain name.
