Verisign is clearly abusing, with major rise of their registry fees for com, net, ... domains every 6 months or years. With without any actual relation to the cost to the registry but just to get an explosion of income.

Now, the price for owning such a basic domain name is insanely high compared to what it is. By now, in a free market, price should be close to zero and not the opposite.

These ass are abusing of their monopoly position to racket us all, I would like so much that something could be done by someone.

For custom root domains like CEO, I don't care that much, but .com, .net, should be kind of a common good.

Otherwise, maybe we should push for an alternative global domain name system.
