[governance] Verisign Loses Dot-Com Piggybank

[Kivuva]

Thank you Fahd,

It seems the US government is protecting consumes from over
commercialization of domains. Verisign gets over 700% profit per
domain.

This also raises the age old question! Who controls the internet? Can
Germany of Kenya or India stop the price increase of gTLDs?
