Re: registrars ruling the world.

[avc@netnamesusa.com (Antony Van Couvering)]

Well, that's why you can't say to a registrar not to charge whatever they
want.  That's free enterprise.  If you put a cap on the price (believe this
has been gone over time and time again) then that's price-fixing.

The registrars are already complaining about each other, and that's how it
should be.  They are in competition.  You will see a downward pressure on
prices.

The safeguard is existing law against anti-competitive pricing, and the
keen interest of each registrar to get the others' customers.
