Registrars are not operating in a 'free' market. They are reselling domain names on behalf of the government. If you want a operate in a free market, then create a product of your own and see if the m,arket wants to pay your price, don't resell for the government. According to your logic, Motor Vehicle registrations could be set at $10,000 a year ! and yes we would have to pay it. You cant buy a domain name thru anyone else but a government appointed Registrar just as you cant Register a car from a non government appointed registration branch. It is therefore not a 'free market' In fact AUDA should run ad's with data similiar to what is at "what's in a name" > unless you can actually demonstrate some harm from domain tasting, which > nobody has yet done, I am not going to respond to anymore of these posts. > feel free to have the last word. I already have in previous posts. Sorry, most don't agree with your view, so really nothing to see here .. move on.
