No to variable pricing
Such a system could put many small business owners out of business. With the Internet being worldwide, a small business owner can not control who accesses his/her site. An unscrupulous competitor could inundate them with "transactions" and subsequent cancellations, which conceivably could be construed to be a transaction, and wipe them out. How is it proposed to keep track of what is transactional and what is query, or surfing or correspondence? There is no way you can justify a transactional fee as a basis of cost and reasonable income(profit) for maintaining the registration. It is blatant profiteering from a virtual monopoly. Please consider the needs and plight of the small business user. They can not afford to absorb the cost of your proposal. And, if you lose business because of YOUR greedy proposal, they get hit even harder. In effect, they have to pay for your sins. How do you justify that as a fair trade practice? Enough ranting. You get the picture. Think long and hard about people, not just what the "bean counters" want to implement. |
