If the Internet becomes so cost prohibitive to simply register an domain, because corporations want to insure their largest possible profit margin, it reduces the entrepreneurial esprit de corps that makes the Internet what it is, a place to find that hard to find item, service, or product, that cannot be found locally. Please work to insure the little sites, individuals, small businesses are not priced out of being able to afford having a web presence.</div><div class="">Thank you for your time and consideration.<br class=""><div class="">
