    I believe it need to be stated that ICANN is in fact violating the anti-trust law. While ICANN has been authorized by Congress, Congress has no legitimate authority to create such a monopoly organization.

    The only monopolies Congress is authorized to establish are copyright and patents if they creates progress in sciences and useful art.

    I cannot see how this definition fit ICANN. Therefore I believe it is time that ICANN is given back to the people. I believe only then we will see domain name services for acceptable pricing.
