    Oh, wait for it... the internet is G L O B A L. .au rules weren't developed in a bubble.

    Update on direct registration

    Obviously individuals do want domain names. Evidence around the world suggests so. Nobody wanted to register in .id.au. That was obvious. It was nothing to do with individuals. Why do you think Australians have one of the highest registrations in .me and .co? Why do other ccTLDs that allow...

    Update on direct registration

    So why are you making an issue out of "people" not needing domain names? It's a rather stupid comment because they do register them and should have as much right to them as anyone else. Instead .au has ludicrous rules that have effectively prevented individuals from registering domain names...

    Latest stats for the Australian namespace

    Oh god. And another shows their ignorance the registrar business by claiming second level domains are a cash grab by registrars. You've obviously never discussed the issues with a registrar. Obviously.

    The rising popularity of .Com in Australia

    Domain Pulse is not aimed at an Australian audience.

    The rising popularity of .Com in Australia

    Why would I give you details of contracts/agreements I have had with clients over the years? Why would I engage in serious discussions when those asking the questions have no intent of serious engagement? Domain Pulse has nothing to do with auDA. Never has. Even when auDA was a client. Never will.

    The rising popularity of .Com in Australia

    That's hilarious coming from someone who consistently shows they've no idea of the domain name industry. They rant and stamp their tiny little feet, and the only thing they do is show their ignorance.

    The rising popularity of .Com in Australia

    So you're saying there's only one TLD - .com. What a load of crap.

    The rising popularity of .Com in Australia

    You made the claim .net is second rate. Where's your evidence? You have none of course.

    The rising popularity of .Com in Australia

    What, I'm your research assistant now? So I'm supposed to waste my time providing evidence which you'd duly ignore. Because you'll ignore the evidence unless it suits your narrative.

    The rising popularity of .Com in Australia

    Ohhh. So the TLD you don't like to use as an example is second rate. As for stats, CENTR publishes them all. And maybe you should wonder why ccTLDs are diversifying and consolidating services. I imagine you haven't even noticed.

    The rising popularity of .Com in Australia

    Look around. Many ccTLDs, particularly in developed countries, are seeing declining growth rates, and some total numbers. The introduction of 2LDs has nothing to do with it. Even plenty of legacy gTLDs are losing registrations. Just look at .net. I do love the cherry picking of examples.

    Blackout Week Protest

    Hilarious. I also have about 5 registrars and another half dozen or so registries as clients. So your point is??? I'm still awaiting the disclaimers from the domainers saying how they're only interested in furthering their own interests and have no interests in the future of the Australian...

    Blackout Week Protest

    Here we go again. Domain Investors thinking of themselves and not the broader internet using public. Second level registrations will benefit. It makes a .au domain name more readable. With much internet use and web browsing done on mobile devices, just adding that extra 4 characters of a URL can...

    Draft recommendations from the 2015 Names Policy Panel

    Now, to continue the spoon feeding, there is a contract between auDA and AusRegistry. That comes up for tender again in the next year or 2. It's possible another company will win the tender even. Or that 2 separate companies could operate 2 different registries. And if you'd bother to...

    That would be terrible if registrants thought second level domains were more appealing...

    Draft recommendations from the 2015 Names Policy Panel

    So in other words it wouldn't matter what evidence was presented, you'd still be opposed... it's that Colbert description of Bush again... "what I like about the president is he believes on Wednesday what he believed on Monday no matter what happened Tuesday". A perfect description...

    Draft recommendations from the 2015 Names Policy Panel

    Yeah. I know. You wouldn't want to see what happens when the change actually happens. Because the evidence just destroys your arguments.
