Re: Value for money
How about pricing it just above the cost to run it for the year, that way people get the capability, but nobody is profiteering.
I think that the cost for running .org is close to null. Most customers have been for years, only cost incured are to send the bill for the next year and collect the money.
It is easy to choose a cheap TLD when you start your online presence, but it is much harder to switch once you've been there for some time: that's where this price increase is stealing from the customers: they are not able to change.
