I like .net. But now the pricing is closer to .com.
I can't wait for a new registry contract but at the same time I can't see Icann killing the goose that lays the golden egg.

Yeah pricing is a little bit off there. I mean who in there right mind wants to pay for a viper and receive a stratus.

They should open up the contracts for competitive bidding but Icann has zero intention of doing that.

I think they should reduce the price cuz .net is dead.
