As someone who has made considerable investments in getting various internet 
businesses off the ground, I am strongly opposed to the introduction of 
variable pricing of domain names. 
 
I am incredibly concerned after hearing of your proposals of variable pricing 
which will hit internet business owners very hard. We all pay enough tax as it 
is, not to mention already paying for internet domain names. To increase those 
domain name renewal charges by a limitless percentage just seems completely 
pointless and destructive. The obvious effect of this proposed policy will be 
to effectively strangle internet business owners who provide wholesome and 
helpful services to the willing public all over the world. Why would you want 
to create more misery and suffering? Surely there's already enough of that 
going on throughout the world already without adding to it. 
 
It makes no sense to change the domain name pricing system because it works 
perfectly fine as it is - why would you need to change it? The implications of 
this variable pricing would cause businesses to fold and also rob people 
worldwide of a multitude of services which they may desperately need. 
 
The internet forms such a big part of many peoples lives in this day and age - 
don't kill it.
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Desi Christou
