> If you think domains in .com.au are harder to obtain, then what about getting a suitable name in .com? The rules for .com.au encourage the namespace not to get completely exhausted the way .com has. (snip) If you have a commercial entity, the chances of you getting your relevant .com.au name are much greater than getting a .com. Hi Kim, I agree entirely (or at least I did up until a few days ago... now there is .biz plus five other suffixes, there are billions of additional combinations available for businesses to choose from) - though the point remains, you are preaching to the converted... who is "out there" running newspaper advertisements etc. promoting the advantages of .au to industry at large? - Plus this also sidesteps the real issue... do a majority of Australian businesses want to be identified as "solely Australian"? (if this is what having a .au in your domain name implies?) - seemingly Telstra do not... and isn't our own industry promoting E-Commerce as a "doorway to the world" for business? - We seem to have forgotton our own promotions to companies wishing to enter the global economy.... demographics is superflous... it doesn't matter if you are a small florist in the Northern Territory, you can still sell flowers to the world (just add a .com).
