Experts agree that domain names will be less than $15, but more than $2 according to this article on
ZDNet. "
Sure I am all for cheap domains for things like.org/.edu, but is cheaper reg fees really a good thing. There are already too many domain squatters at the price point now. What happens when registration is like $25 USD for a domain. Then every company will be more likely to buy every iterance of their supposed Int. Prop. I think Domain squatting will just get that much worse.
