Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to express my opposition to the proposed price increases to the .COM top-level domain. The internet is a right for everyone, and increasing the prices for the .COM domain will make it less accessible to those wanting to create something online – businesses, ventures, blogs, tell stories, provide education to people, push forward a social initiative, and other things we can't even imagine. The .COM domain is most favoured in search algorithms, and we all know that if you aren't findable via search, you don't exist. The idea that all the other domains provide an alternative is thus not valid. .COM is the default, and for that you can't let prices be allowed to increase for 8 of the next 10 years. Very best, Mr. Miles
