Is it any form of coincidence that Snapnames have just announced a price
rise?

Their marketing take on the WLS proposal is also interesting:

> DOMAIN NAME NEWS

I'm not entirely sure that this is going to benefit small organisations
or private individuals as opposed to larger corporations, or even
whether that should be the point.  Surely, any system should be fair to
all, regardless of who your are or are representing?
