In our portfolio of 2,500 name, we only have a few hundred net.au. I think I've probably undevalued them over the years. Certainly based on some pretty solid sales that have happened over the years.
However here's a thought that may make net.au investors even happier.
There's a real push at the moment for registrations to be opened up directly under .au
If this happens, based on exeprience overseas, at some stage (it could take a few years, could take 10 years+) you would expect .au to become the favoured and most valuable of the three options.
So grabbing .au domains in a 'landrush' could be very lucrative.
Normally with releases like these there are several stages. First stage might check TM holders. Second stage could well give the option to the equivalent com.au and/or net.au holder.
So for example, before releasing example.au to the general public, the holders of example.net.au and example.com.au might get first dibs with an auction between the two parties if both respond favourably.
What do you think?
