ICANN

Apparently, ICANN has lifted the price caps on registry fees. I do not know if this is good or bad, but it includes a tax. Would it not be a good idea to distinguish between critical public infrastructure and consumer product when exercising the popular political strategy of privatizing, itself a hidden tax. Prices to the public for consumer products and services are obviously a business proposition. Critical infrastructure, however, requires fair and equal access to all as well as government responsibility for quality and substance. It seems obvious. Taxing the user seems to insure fewer users, and works against fair and equal access.
