'ICANN, based in Marina del Rey, Calif., is facing a tight deadline to revise its record $15.8 million budget to placate a growing number of rebellious registrars united in opposition to a new fee structure....Fearful that the combined fees could top $19,000 and put them out of business, 75 smaller registrars have banded together to protest the budget.'"

    You don't have to use the standard root servers. Use Opennic for example. The only thing you lose is the ICANN .biz domain, which is mostly spam anyway.
