A bunch of people are calling the sky is falling, the sky is falling. I'm
not so sure this is the case. What I'm interested in is if anyone is
actually worried about this, or has heard about this, from within this
community.
For those three TLDs it seems like there is little/less competition than
for .COM so price increases could be significant. However I'm not sure
this will result in the 'per domain auction' pricing that some people seem
to be afraid will happen.
