Re: [ga] Tiered (Variable) Pricing

["kidsearch" <kidsearch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If a registry cannot find a way to increase their bottom line besides price
hikes, then it pretty much proves what we have said all along that ICANN
does not have the expertise to review anyone's business plan. They approved
them for these registries yet they don't know how to create revenue streams
other than price hikes. Makes it obvious ICANN approved a business plan or
two that weren't very good.
