Christine Jones, general counsel to registrar GoDaddy, testified that after the 
contract to run .net was put up for an open bidding process, the price 
registrars paid for .net domains fell. "VeriSign gets this huge windfall if this 
agreement is renewed," Jones said. "There is simply no reason that we can see to 
build in a price increase."

Verisign's Ken Silva, its chief security officer, replied that .net and .com 
were hugely different creatures and could not be compared directly. "It's a 
different animal," Silva said of .net. "It's a much smaller zone." Silva said 
that the fees will go to provide a high level of security and reliability for .com.
