<p>Dear,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Price gauging by a monopoly is unethical and legally
questionable. Top-level domain names are a de-facto public utility
and monopoly, so prices should be tightly regulated. If ICANN
fails to do this, as is evidently the case considering what
happened to .org and is now happening to .com, the responsibility
should be transferred to another authority sooner rather than
later. What is currently going on is rent-seeking and abuse of
power, and should have consequences for the people in charge at
ICANN.<br>
