Quoting Don Cameron on Tuesday November 21, 2000:
| Domains... how could I think otherwise? - they are not advertised... (who is
| putting pressure on Telstra to promote "Telstra.com.au"?) ISP's are not
| given any incentives to sell them... and they are increasingly harder to
| obtain. OK, the market rules - it's simple. Do what the administrators
| want... Don't sell them.

If you think domains in .com.au are harder to obtain, then what about 
getting a suitable name in .com? The rules for .com.au encourage 
the namespace not to get completely exhausted the way .com has. 

If you have a commercial entity, the chances of you getting your 
relevant .com.au name are much greater than getting a .com.
