don't shot the messenger, but i'd be interested for comments on how does this affect the potential sale of sydney.com.au and melbourne.com.au ?

More places with the name Sydney around the world so it is expected. Multiple parties probably trying to go after it as well.

It's a shame that Melbourne is lengthy 9 characters long, and thus prone to typos or typing/tapping fatigue for a TLD.

In the article, the example they give of a possible usage is grandprix.melbourne which is 19 characters. Yet the existing domain name for that event, grandprix.com.au, is shorter at 16 characters.

"Beat" isn't quite the right word. Melbourne is the first to throw a wheel barrow load of money down the drain, Sydney soon to follow. Ausregistry and Icann the winners.
