[governance] Verisign Loses Dot-Com Piggybank

[Imran Ahmed Shah]

Dear Fahd and Kivuva, 
In addition to the question 'Who controls the internet?' one more question arises that 'Who is running Internet Business'.
 
However, the caps will have not affect the business as much as comparing to the expected migration of the domains from .com to the new gtLDs with in next few years.
 
Interestingly, the hundreds of new gTLDs are not feasible to sell on the same cost as charged for .com or .net domains from consumer. 
Is it possible for ICANN or DoC to caps the price of new gTLDs Domains? The huge cost of the new gTLDs will be transferred to the consumers.
 
Regards
 
Imran Ahmed Shah
