[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Do not remove price caps on TLDs
Dear ICANN: I write in strong opposition to the removal of price caps (on .org, .biz., .info etc TLD's). I've had domains since 1999 or so and whiel initially prices came down as they should when technology matures and there are economies of scale, in the last 10 or so years prices have instead gone up, with retailers like GoDaddy and NameCheap forced to pass on higher prices given their thin margins. This is already outrageous. Prices have done up from 8 or so to 15+ per year. If you remove price caps this will only push costs even higher. How on Earth can you justify having things cost more (rather than less as they should) in 2019 than in the past -- things should be cheaper given economies of scale and better faster cheaper technologies and other tech improvements. Thank you, Harel Barzilai, Ph.D. Per call for comments at: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/org-renewal-2019-03-18-en?utm_source=I...
