Dear Yahoo! Management,
We, the undersigned, are signing this petition to protest the new Yahoo pricing structure in relation to several of the services most popular features such as Yahoo Groups, Yahoo Mail, and GeoCities. While we agree and understand that it is the primary goal of any company, including Yahoo, to expand their services and to make money, we feel that Yahoo is deliberately targeting users who have no choice or option in using Yahoo services. Yahoo Clubs, Yahoo Groups, Yahoo Mail, and GeoCities are all services that, once signed up for and established, are very difficult and extremely inconvenient to migrate from Yahoo to another service. We believe that Yahoo is deliberately targeting these users in total disregard to our needs and desires.
We would like to strongly encourage the management of Yahoo, Inc to reconsider their pricing structure for these services and consider continuing the current structure of Yahoo as supported primarily by advertising.

- Charging fees for group services is intolerable. Especially after we were forced to convert from the club format. There should be an option for clubs or groups, with club services being basic and no charge, and group services being "premium" with fees.

- Yahoo is one of the biggest services on the web. To charge the billions of people who use its services is blatantly taking advantage. I beg you to reconsider.

- For the service that yahoo provides at times, I would think that they should be asking us the users to pay them. I do love yahoo groups, but I'm sure if it became a paid service, they would lose over 75% of their members, meaning the advertsing at the bottom of every e-mail would go down 75% also. That doesn't seem worth it to me for the amount they might receive for those who do decide to pay.

- Your services are some of the last truly free services available on the net. I understand the modest fee charged for your personals, however, charging for mail, groups, and other services that are currently free is unfair. You have a huge membership base and charging fees for what is currently free would be detrimental to that mebership.

- Please reconsider your decision, not everyone has the ability to pay for all those services and have been loyal yahoo users for years. Perhaps offering extra services to your Premium Subscribers and not changing the regular services is still a viable option. Thank You for listening

- I have a list of over 3100 subscribers who read your ads with each and every email they receive. Isn't that payment enough????

- Please reconsider your proposals! In my case, I will have to stop using Yahoo for my emails, since I need to relocate them to my hard drive and do not intend paying $20 a month for that privilege.

- I feel that the survey you sent rather we wanted to be charged or not was not taken into consideration, and you will loose considerable amount of buisness with doing this, alot of us count on this service, but in no way can affortd what you are asking.
