Reply to: [1][DNS] domain names Thank you for your message. I am on leave until 19 July 1999. Your message has been fowarded to my secretary, Robyn Keen who will take the appropriate action with it. Please call her on 9364 6300 if you want to give her any more information. -------------------------------------- Date: 7/7/1999 3:52 PM To: dns§waia.asn.au From: ShaunLeCornu >From what I can see even though the current system has helped to get us off the ground it seems to have reached it's limits. FIRSTLY - From what I can see their is too many small groups operating, the mere fact that someone has started up .au.com leads me too believe that there is no uniformity. Their are too many people pushing their own barrows and not enough continuity. SECONDLY- I believe that even though we have Yahoo Australia we still don't have an Australian specific search engine (so I'm told). Australian searches should come up with australian businesses first. Currently no two search engines are the same nor do they search in the same way. THIRDLY- Domain names aren't the be all and end all as David wise has stated, the problem is that we aren't competing on the same level as the U.S.A. Regardless of what customers should or will do, they aren't doing it now. No wonder their are people out their saying that the internet is hopeless for finding things. Now I'm talking about the lowest common denominator not the whiz bag operator, the basic user is where we should be aiming to satisfy CONCLUSION- The australian web should be set up as a virtual Australia with virtual states and virtual roads. If I want to find something in my local area then I want to be able to find it easily not spend hours searching through rubbish. That is why people use domain names to do their searches because it cuts out all the rubbish quickly. Put rules on the number of domain names you can own. Don't allow people the ability to link domain names to one location perhaps. The only reason their is such a fuss about generic domain names is that (1) you can have them in the states (2) some are getting away with it while others cant. Leave domain names up to market forces but put in rules reduce as much as possible large business domination and finally keep it within Australia thanks Shaun LeCornu -- This article is not to be reproduced or quoted beyond this forum without express permission of the author.
