[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Opposition to removal of INFO price cap

[Chuck Hagelgans]

To Whom It May Concern:

  I am opposed to the removal of the INFO domain name price cap. ICANN
grants Afilias Limited a *de facto *monopoly on domain names. ICANN
therefore has a public responsibility to impose limits on the use of that
monopoly. ICANN'S abrogating of that responsibility would give Afilias
Limited free rein to charge any amount they wished.

  In the past few hundred years, we have seen in the United States the
stranglehold that monopolies in the oil, coal, railroad and communication
companies have had on this nation. We have seen how difficult it is to
dismantle such a power structure once it is in place.

  Please do not create another unlimited monopoly by removing the INFO
domain name price cap. Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,
Charles Hagelgans
Gloversville, NY
