Yahoo’s Closing Down Sale

Just been catching up on my Business Of Software reading. It seems that Yahoo
has spat the dummy, thrown its toys out of the pram
and flicked the self destruct switch. Now that’s a lot of metaphors!
Their domain customers are receiving emails with the following text:
Important note: Beginning on July 1, 2008, Yahoo!’s annual domain renewal price increases to $34.95 per year.
Now, as if the price wasn’t ridiculous enough, they’ve put this into the public domain by emailing their customers, but their website
makes no mention of the increase. That means someone buying a domain
today is told a renewal will cost $9.95, when in reality, Yahoo has no
intention of offering such a price.
A little dishonest? I think so.
