<p>Allowing Verisign to increase their fee for domain registrations, there is decreased access to users who would otherwise like to purchase a .com domain.</p>
<p>Verisign does not need a several-hundred-million-dollars increase in revenue year to maintain a registry database. It is getting ridiculous at this point. Domains were never expensive to begin with; I don't see why this has to change now.</p>
<p>Keep the internet more open for everyone and do NOT allow Verisign to raise prices on the .com registry!</p>
