These TLDs have a long history and are in wide use based on a significant period of price-capping. To treat them the same as new TLDs denies the extent to which their use is established, and the costs this will impose on millions of small companies, individual entrepreneurs and non-profit organizations. </font></div><div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;"><font color="#0433ff" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class="" style="font-family: Avenir-Book;"><font color="#0433ff" class="">This feels like an abuse of more or less a monopoly position. <br class=""><br class="">ICANN appears to be entirely catering to registries by removing price caps.
