As a consumer of domain registration services, can recall the days where Network Solutions held a monopoly and charged USD $35 per year per domain. Compute and bandwidth costs have only come down in price over time.  Given that registrars are not providing any additional value, it is unfair to consumers who have no real choice in any reasonable alternatives because of ICANN's monopoly, to increase prices, especially in light of the fact that costs should only continue to decline as compute and bandwidth costs continue to decrease over time. -- Dossy Shiobara | "He realized the fastest way to change dossy@panoptic.com | is to laugh at your own folly -- then you http://panoptic.com/ | can let go and quickly move on."
