<br>
The proposed price increase and continued yearly increase is
wholly unjustified. There are not the requirements of increased
management, thereby increasing costs, to oversee this particular
level of domain names. The (dot) coms are no more difficult to
"manage" than any other domain name. Management falls upon the
registrants and registrars.<br>
<br>
The cost increases are being proposed as a way to turn the most
commonly used, most desirable, and most recognizable domain into a
"cash cow". The proposal takes full advantage of forcing
registrants to pay more and more at the cost of losing aspects of
their business(es) and eliminating access to highly valuable
resources. <br>
<br>
The proposed increase is unconscionable, unprecedented, and
unnecessary. <br>
<br>
Thank you for your time. <br>
