I use the Internet but I am not a .com registrant. As I am entering the field of web development, I do not wish to see the acquiring of domains become a monetary barrier to the field as prices continue to hike. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Naomi Danielson Tucson, Arizona
