These kinds of changes being made without the input of internet users is unacceptable. The price increases allegedly are being made to fund improvements to the domain name system, but there are no specifics given on what exactly the initiatives are, how they will be tracked, or how anyone will ensure the funds are spent appropriately. On top of that, VeriSign will reap the greatest reward from this price increase, since they will receive more revenue over the initial period without providing any value in return, and then will receive even greater revenues after the initial $20 million is paid out!
