Keep in mind if the price lowered, domain squatters would increase. I kind of wish domains were more expensive, so companies wouldn't sit on half of a million domains. They just mark them all at $1,000+, so they still make a profit if 99% of their domains just sit there and rot away.

We should price the .com at $50 or $100 per year. This will force the squatters and people sitting on domains to let the majority of them expire. That might help to reserve .com for higher quality sites. For example, look at something like the free tk extension, compared to something like io, that has a premium price. The difference is night and day.

Sure. You can do that anytime you want. But then you would split the namespace.
