Does the recent acquisition of Domain8, making them an owner of a registrar, mean that their opportunities of building a portfolio of .au domains limited? We all know how large their .com portfolio is, but with all the rules as a registrar, is it possible for them to build a large portfolio of .au domain names?

Hi Soj,
George told me they did not buy Domain8, only became in investor.

Don

Ahh right, so as an investor they as DBS have no problems of buying/selling .au domain names, as long as Domain8 isn't involved?

They have actually been growing their .au portfolio very agressively for over a year now and is already quite large, I dont think the investment in D8 will alter this.
