[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] AGAINST .COM cost increases

[Brian Haney]

This agreement is 100% against the general public interest and unacceptable.
According to this new agreement, Verisign will be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domains every year for 8 out of the next 10 years, and the increases don't stop there. This will mean that .COM wholesale domain prices can grow by more than 70% over and above current prices over the next decade. The contract also allows for other price increases, which could drive prices up further, ultimately making .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody. Please consider the long reaching ramifications this will have as we wok as a society to make the internet more accessible to more people, this deal will result in fewer people having genuine access because of the financial barriers involved.
