I don't think this has yet been posted so thought I would point out an excellent response to the Verisign blog post that ICA Domain Attorney Zak Muscovitch recently wrote on CircleID. The post is longish but eloquently and clearly written, making a strong case in my opinion. Also it is rich in links to substantiate the various points made.
Here are the four key points quoted from the post.
Clearly ICA plan to take the case against price increases to ICANN.
I strongly urge all domain investors to give the full post a careful read.

Here are the four key points quoted from the post.
- Verisign is a provider of technical registry services, it does not own the .com name space;
- Unlike Verisign's fees, the prices set by registrars and domain name investors are held in check by competition;
- Verisign is already well-paid for its services, as evidenced by its substantial profits;[1] and
- ICANN need not approve fee hikes; on the contrary, ICANN ought to assert its right to set reasonable fee levels for its hired registry manager.
Clearly ICA plan to take the case against price increases to ICANN.
I strongly urge all domain investors to give the full post a careful read.
