As has been demonstrated time after time, allowing a company to raise prices without limit where customers are unable to easily move to a competitor (domains are often the "identity" of a website), the company will, without fail, raise prices to maximize their own profit, rather than to simply cover expenses. Because the .org domain was never intended to be profitable entity, but from the start of the DNS system was intended to represent non-commercial and non-profit entities, there must remain some regulation to ensure that users will not be priced out of their own identities online. -- J.
