To whomever may pretend to read this: Leaving the door open for the potential increase in .COM domain registration prices to reach an unprecedented high over the coming years creates an additional hurdle to conducting business in the 21st Century. It is a deterent to creativite pursuits, the economically disadvantaged in all realms, and further turns the internet - a place created around the very concept of information exchange - into a greedy real estate market for the privileged. I urge you to reconsider the money grab. Not that anyone faceless has ever reconsidered a money grab. Sincerely, K.T. Culik
