Enom gives $4.95 on .biz and .us to resellers as well as larger
customers. This proves to me that lower registry prices result in
lower prices for customers. Not only prices offered directly by
registrars to one-domain-name customers are relevant. There are many
companies that have 100+ domains (think permutations to keep out
cybersquatters). Why should they not benefit from lower pricing?

I have the feeling some of us are trying to keep the price higher than
is warrented by the market. As a consumer rep, I cannot accept this.
