There is zero justification for this price increase and as such am totally opposed. Please spend more time and resources on tackling domain squatters, the large companies buying up and reselling hundreds of thousands of domains for scandalous amounts (often 1000%+ markup) - This is a far greater matter than than even considering granting Verisign an increase to domain registration fees, it's nothing more than a money grab that does not bring additional value to .com domain owners.
