Hello, It is egregious that the domain names and services have been steadily increasing over the years and now without proper restraint or regulation. This will make is prohibitive for smaller businesses and entrepreneurs to enter the Fields of their choice. Also, the manner in which these fees are charged are not as transparent as they need to be. This should be regulated fee and not subject to any increase, ever. A flat fee into perpetuity. Also, to hold domain names for fee is out of control too. If a name is locked up with a broker And they are auctioning it for a ridiculous fee,… this creates an environment of inequality. Make this a fair and equal playing ground… Not one, sigh, that once again only benefits the wealthy. Do something important and right for the progress of our economies. Thank you, Rose Petruzzi Bethlehem, CT
