Happy 30th anniversary to .au domains - what comes next?

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Australian domain names - websites ending in .au. As of June this year, more than three million such domains have been registered. This is a lot for a country of only 24 million people, but especially notable when you think there were only a few hundred thousand domain names as recently as 2002. This explosion in registrations is the result of the constant evolution of our system - changes that have not only opened domains up to more and more people, but will set us up for the fourth decade of Australian websites.
