#2The link is not just about the amount,
A section,
> There are about 152 million domain name registrations .com today so Verisign will make about $82 million more in the next year following the price increase out of thin air.
> Verisign will be able to increase the price of .com in the next 3 years as well.
> Verisign will suck about $3 billion dollars out of the world economy just by having some powerful friends at ICANN.

#4Capitalism is an economic system in which private individuals capture property, make it private, make it scarce, then charge others to use it, making profit. Profit is theft from society.
Stuff like this is the natural conclusion of such a system.

#5That's cheap. And I thought Route53 for $12.99 was cheap already.

#7Devil's advocate.... what percentage of .com registrations are parked/squatted domains looking for a sucker to buy at huge markups from the registrar price? I'd be very happy if this made the math on squatting a little less desirable.

There's another article linked to from this one that has,
> The whole point here is that Verisign gets richer while ICANN does all the dirty work. All this while ICANN will receive additional funding ($20 million) from Verisign over the next 5 years. So ICANN will be spending a part our stolen money, money ICANN helped Verisign steal from us registrants, to get higher salaries and bonuses. Thanks ICANN!!!

#10When Network Solutions had a monopoly these were $100/2 years, later falling to $70/2 years. At this pace it will be a long, long time before we are back up to the bad old days.
