Dear Sir,<br>
<br>
I am a small entrepreneur and I own few domain names with .com,
.org, .info, .biz and other. The truth is that my "brand" domains
are only three and the only top level domain I truly care about is
.com. But I don't own just three domains I had to own many other
combinations of tld. and hyphenated version of my "brands" to fight
dns scams...<br>
<br>
That is the reality of nowadays internet. I am certain that your
effort to remove price caps is for nothing else but a greedy deal
with Verizon BUT even if you try to argument that the reason for
raising prices is exactly to tackle the problem with dns speculators
- you are wrong.<br>
<br>
No matter how high the price for a domain will go, there will be
always speculators holding as a hostage any brand-able names trying
to resell it for an absurd amount of money. Also there will be
always a crook attempting of dns scam using a very similar domain to
lure visitors from proper domains (e.g. mymail.com vs my-mail.com vs
mymail.biz etc.). So every buyer of a new domain name will have to
protect himself buy buying out a bulk of otherwise useless domains
to just avoid all of these problems.<br>
<br>
At the end the only one able to fight on this battlefield will be
big companies - it is already almost impossible to came up with some
free distinguishable name for a domain name - the internet is over
saturated and new business are starting each day.<br>
<br>
Maybe that is the reason why I already decided to move my brands to
.xyz but .com is overwhelmingly dominant as of now and will be for
some time still.<br>
<br>
Your move to remove price caps will hurt only little people like me
- I am not worry that google, microsoft, facebook and any other big
name will have an issue to pay whatever price for... well whatever.<br>
