tv.com.au is regsitered to Andrew Hall (no business name or registrant id
or name servers).  fm.com.au to HITPRO PTY LTD (which at least looks like
a business name but has no registrant id). The rest are registered by Amy
Clarke (no business name, or registrant ID).

I wonder how Andrew Hall and HITPRO PTY LTD feel about their domain names
being trademarked.
