Perhaps I am old school. Assume I am an individual and also a shareholder of Verisign. NASDAQ: VRSN Assume that Verisign is granted somewhat of a monopoly. Assume that economies of scale make it cheaper today to provide the service than yesterday. Assume Verisign has not increased prices for 8 years.
This is not a slam dunk quandry. Perhaps one year increase is appropriate but scheduled increases over a period of years seems over the top.

Hi folks,
See the press release at:
http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release_html_b1?release_id=234250
We have until October 15th to avoid the price increases.
Of course, VeriSign tries to make it look like 30 billion queries per
day is a lot. One need only look at:
http://system.opendns.com/
(1 billion queries/day lately, operated free) to know that 1 billion
isn't what it used to be. I'd be curous to know how many DNS queries
are handled daily by GoDaddy, NSI, Amazon, eBay, Google, Yahoo,
Microsoft, Akamai, etc., and whether their technology costs are rising
7% per year....
Sincerely,
George Kirikos
