Network Solutions has been hosting my domains for over ten years now.

Today I get an email saying they are going to raise prices on yearly domain registrations for .com, .net, .biz and a few others.
So I Googled the subject, maybe this is hot off the press there wasn't much uproar yet(Though I'm roaring plenty)

In my search I saw this glad handing pat on the back...

NETWORK SOLUTIONS JOINS CALL FOR ICANN TO MAKE KEY CHANGES TO .COM PROPOSAL

"“The final proposal, when approved by the ICANN Board, will have far-reaching consequences for the Internet community,” said Champ Mitchell, Chairman and CEO of Network Solutions. “Our goal is to ensure that a final agreement does not allow registry prices to increase without cost justification and without market-based checks and balances.”"

Here was my Email...

"registry prices to increase without cost justification"
then
"we'll be implementing a price change"

Now was I given any justification? NO! They are implementing new charges. Like charging me more money is some framework that I'm going to benefit from. Nice fucking guy. The nerve, where do these pricks get off?
