To which I have to ask, "so what?"

There is no reason to regulate the cost of the registry when there is the
open market for anyone to open a registry. In a single-registry system,
like IAHC had proposed, yes - that would make sense. In a free
economy, with multiple registries, that is unnecessary regulation.

Thankfully, there is no way in hell that it would stand, so feel free
to discuss it all you want.
