You can count me in for another $5.00.
Also, registration of names was recently "privatized" to five different
companies. I'm not completely clear on the details, I believe it
involved InterNIC still setting up the names, but the other companies
would be able to "sell" them. This is supposed to encourage some level
of competition and hopefully lower registration fees, though that
remains to be seen. If I can find out the companies that will be
providing names, we might want to shop around.
