When Verisign was asked why they needed the increase, he said they needed it to buid up the back office operation. (paraphrasing). I wonder if only a small part of the increase went towards that? When asked if they plan any more increases, he said he didn't know. I guess he didn't want to get caught lieing to Congress. You know they will max. out the Icann contract. Who are they kidding? Plus, I'm sure they want the ability to charge whatever the market will bare. Google.com - $ 1. mil. a yr. ?? AOL.com - $ 1. mil a yr. ?? NBC.com, Hotels.com, etc, etc. I only watched the last 1/3rd of the hearing.
