[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price increases will thin out the web and fatten the kings

[Jeff]

Me and my company object to significant price increases for obtaining 
new and/or renewing domain names from registrars.
Many of our clients start with very little capital and startups are 
already financially risky. It does not help matters to add extra costs 
to new and growing companies.
Social media sites seem to have taken majority of the traffic and 
there's already less visitors to small business sites. These small 
businesses have to invest more money already, competing with the bigger 
companies while search engines are making constant changes and 
requirements to how the web should be, thus requiring more investment in 
developers.
Further taxes/fees on domain ownership is not a good strategy for 
enterprising the world wide web for the masses of business owners and 
even smaller individuals with their personal portals, paying out of 
pocket, with no intent on financial gains.
