Youre thinking about yourself. Students etc who have .com domains cant afford $100 a year for their domain? Should they be forced to give up their domains because people like you couldnt get their chosen domains from squatters/
- mdorazio 7y agoI'm not sure why students etc. need specifically .com domains.
- monkeywork 7y agoExplain please? Is there something about a .com that makes one group of people less "needy" of it.
- tastroder 7y agoRight, they can use free .tk, .xx.yy domains that highjack their content to serve ads. It's fine. /s We've been there people and it sucked, hard. Neither anybody here, nor ICANN, should get to decide what people can or cannot use domains for. Stipulating such restrictions or unreasonably raising prices to exclude any group that is neither rich or a company would essentially break the TLD. In that case you can just get rid of .com and tie it into the US trademark system if you like. Maybe that's where the internet is going these days but it's neither natural nor a good direction in my book.
- ohashi 7y agoAlso ignoring poorer countries in the world. Not everyone makes high western developer salaries. Why should .com domain names suddenly be gate kept and all the profits going into a monopoly and a corrupt oversight organization?
