It’s bad enough that we – the entrepreneurs - are being held up by domain hogs that take over millions of domain names – “for ransom” – ( ICANN making huge amounts of these domain hogs - in the process. You know I’m right), the domain prices have risen up significantly in recent years. “The internet” should be affordable. It should not be the sole domain of the ultra rich Increasing costs would make it so. You will in essence be making it a rich boys club Hiking domain prices would suffocate deter low-income peoples from inventing and succeeding I hope you will reconsider this approach, and think of ways of reducing domain costs Regards Dror Mikdash (bankDB.org)
