You are certainly welcome to your opinion that common expiration dates would cause large companies with many domain to purchase more domains than they otherwise would, but I don't share it. Being able to pay the bill with a PO once a year is attractive. Having this actually align with the expiration date of their domains is not something that would have interested me when I managed the domains for a Fortune 500 company. Annual billing, yes. Having this align with the actual domain expiration dates would not have interested me in the least. -t
