Subject: IN Capitalism, the market determines the price...however you have to start somewhere..

I think what IOD has been trying to say is:

"Hey, let the market decide if we're right"...


MY OPINION (based on my business experience):

Afterall, this is a whole new ballgame with respect to uploading new TLDs...If they start to low, then they would have a hard time "raising prices" to meet unforeseen cost demands (which are there in every application--you can't "see" everything)....I think $15.00 is a reasonable price to start at...then through competition, that price will definitely change....

Also IOD is willing to negotiate if this is a "sticking" point with their application.  So I don't foresee a problem with prices....Just remember, FIRST let the market decide...because if you don't...your going to get burned, either way....

The other thing is to not get caught up in what is currently being charged to DOT COM registrars...it took a long time for that price to hover where it is now....The new gTLD's will have to go through a similiar process to determine their likeability, use, etc, etc....
