The .au domain administration body (auDA) said last night it planned to sell off previously-prohibited geographically-based domain names in the .com.au and .net.au spaces in AU$500 bundles, as well as implementing a host of other significant changes.
Australia may get more domain names, following an announcement from auDA calling for proposals for new second-level domains.
Australia's domain name regulator is considering opening up the nation's top level .au domain, in a dramatic proposal that could see second-level domains such as "example.au" made available.
auDA's New Names Advisory Panel has recommended the establishment of new second level domain names based on Australia's states and territories.
The number of Australian domain names has increased by 24 percent, according to the au Domain Administrator.
