This is not even about the price caps. This is about the direct transfer of value from the public to a single company. That's not acceptable. If they had to buy .com or .org they would have to pay billions. We cannot just give this away for free.
I lived in the third world and this was so common there. Some company would infiltrate neutral arbiters or government offices and those places would then pass off public goods to the company under some spurious excuse. That company then immediately gets billions of dollars in value.
That's insane. It's straightforward corruption.
- hbbio 8y ago.com itself is probably worth 100s of billions. A new Big Four... There are more than 100M .com domains. An average price of $100/year would leave sites with no other option than to pay. So, that's a $10bn/year business with very very high margins. Worth 100s.
