[Richard Johnson]

Here's a pointer to a very interesting draft press release, apparently scheduled for release on 18 September 1995.

Short version:  The article specifies $100 one-time fee for new domain name registrations, and a $50/year annual fee for all .com, .edu, .gov, .net, and .org domains.
