I am Canadian [coolcanuckaward.ca] :)
It's nice to see CIRA demonstrating leadership. CIRA runs a fairly lean operation, too, with .ca costs FALLING to CAD $8.50 [www.cira.ca] per domain-year (equivalent to roughly USD $7.34 at current exchange rates), with a registry of only 650,000 domain names. With .com having approximately 50 million domains, and the huge economies of scale inherent in running a registry, that gives you a sense of the monopoly profits VeriSign is earning per domain -- the current proposed settlement will actually make .com domains cost more at the registry level than .ca!

Aren't you the famous "GeorgeK" domain speculator? Don't you make obscene amounts of profit monopolizing as many prime domains as you can get your hands on? You begrudge Verisign for making a few extra cents or a few extra dollars on each .com, while you pork buyers of the domains you monopolize for vastly greater rates of profit. You are putting on a false appearance of virtue by bitching and moaning about Verisign's greed, while you stick it to others in a similar fashion. You may be a hypocrite.
You are "GeorgeK" the domain speculator. I read your posts in the various domain name forums. You hoard many prime domains. It's a laugh that you whine about the Verisign monopoly, while you nurture your own domain name monopoly.
