Australian Domaining And the Future

An article in Sydney Morning Herald recently stated that there is no real future in Reselling Australian Domains .
This is so wrong on several levels.
UK and German Markets provide a valuable insight into the potential market in Australian Names. German Sites that have been succesful include ebay.de and Sedo.de

.DE and .Co.UK have become almost as valuable as the .com & .net Equivalent Names.
So I think .Com.au and .Net.au could achieve a very high resale value.
Any Keyword Name regardless of the ccTLD is valuable. So any good Keyword .Com.au or .Net.au will naturally be in demand. With 1million Plus .Com.au's Registered before the change in auDA policy, a Massive market for New registrations and Aftermarket sales awaits.

One unusual aspect of the new policy is a requirement for any Australian Domain being resold to be at least 6 Months since originally registered. This opens up new markets in Australia for a combination Short term Parking & Sale listing site similiar to Sedo. Another opening is the development and marketing of a minisite style site as an alternative to parking it.

N.B. Anyone needing to register Australian Names needs to be an Australian resident /Registered Business
