I'm well aware of the performance of the major players.  I'm simply talking
about what I believe should occur in the present/future.

I didn't mention high fees, just the fact that I believe they are warranted.
 Remember that I responded to your claim that fees were not warranted.

It's also a little meaningless to discuss what is a reasonable charge for
DNS services without considering scale.

And, what is actually wrong with making a profit out of providing a service?
 It is after all the basis on which our society is built.  The internet
ain't any different.
