Morning Folks!!
The outrage in the domain industry about Verisign is laughable. 10 years ago when it really counted, domainers were AWOL! There was a lawsuit against Verisign, but domainers did not support it and eventually we ran out of funds to fight. Guys with 250,000 names or more sat on the sidelines. They contributed nothing. Now they are outraged?? Give me a break!
Go buy some Verisign stock! I hope the prices go up and it forces the wannabes out. Remember, I was paying $100 a pop at the start. Then $70. Then less. At $8 I am not sure why everyone is so upset. For a REAL business $8/year is a joke! You can't get a decent Burger, Fries and Coke for $8 let alone a WORLDWIDE presence!
So stop the whining! Increasing the registration prices only hurt domainers and NOBODY gives a rats ass about Domainers! I don't think a real business owning 1-10 domains cares. Why should they!?
I would suggest that some dump all their domains. With the savings on renewals just buy Verisign and you will MAKE MORE MONEY!

Nothing to complain about given that the new GTLDs cost a lot more than .coms to renew.

… “just trying” to bite the hand that feeds … simple as that. For $1-2 extra, selling for 1000x more. Value logic goes south. This: Go buy some Verisign stock!

All those wimps and whiners- please go read the DShame blog or other whimsy cut and paste blogs
Best of all, just drop off from domaining.

maybe if the reg fee and renewal was $1,000 per year people would stop registering Pigeon Shit. but that is wishful thinking :)

Hello Rick,
We now sit upon the precipice of the largest Demand ever for (.COM Equimoditty Platform Assset TAX SHELTERS). Their valuations are on an ever increasing trajectory. It is simply amazing to fathom the one dimensional Mind set of some investors.
INTERNET 2.0 is in its early phase Right Now.
Investors need to Labotomize all the things that Google backed Media Hype Propoganda has lied about. The baseline valuation model for (.COM Equimoditty Platform Asset TAX SHELTERS has not even been formed as of yet. Go figure? JAS

Jeff, I still want to know why Equimoditty.com is still available. And why do you spell it that way instead of Equimmodity?

Hear ye! Hear ye!
The king has spoken, the pigeon shit domainers will get royally flushed.

Domainers will never put significant money into a lawsuit unless the ROI is clear, whilst Verisign could spend tens of millions appealing. I think political pressure is the best route based on history.
Verisign is going to have a hard job legitimately justifying a price rise to the government.
