> Domains now cost $35 per year, with the first two years ($70) prepaid. + When did that change. ... A couple of months ago, a federal judge ruled that $35 was a reasonable fee for necessary registration services. I haven't read the case, so I don't have the full rationale on hand, but I believe the judge applied the implicit will of Congress in its various acts that the Internet should be free of incumbrances that would inhibit development of the Internet. Previously collected (excessive) fees are being held in escrow, I think, pending clarification... Probably they will ultimately be returned, but don't count on it. -lar "This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around. No time for dancing or lovey-dovey, I ain't got time for that now. I sent a message through the receiver, hope to get an answer someday. Why stay in college? Why go to night school? Thought I'd be different this time." -D. Byrne *** Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" to discuss-request at blu.org
