Opposed to variable pricing

To whom it concerns,
I am writing to express my sincere opposition to the proposed changes to
lift price control on registry services. This undermines the underlying
nature of the internet: big or small, every business and individual has
an equal chance to make their services available to anybody with access
to the network.
For example, if my personal website suddenly gains a readership, its
domain name could be considered valuable internet real estate; however,
as an individual, I would not be able to afford a price hike from my
registrar if they decided to charge me its "market value" and renewal.
Who is to say what the market value of any given domain is? Who will
police these decisions? Who will ensure that a large company cannot
pressure a registrar in to hiking up the price of a small but competing
company's domain?
Variable pricing doesn't belong in the domain name registry service
space. As stated before, it will undermine the nature of the internet,
period.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Isaac Force
