Verisign have done some pretty detailed analysis of the .com & .net zones. They calculate that 15% of those domain spaces (that's some 9 million names) are some form of PPC site. I haven't seen any similar stats from Nominet in relation to .uk however I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a similar percentage. So, the 10% (of a few hundred thousand) you're claiming for .au certainly isn't the highest percentage in the world, nor does it say anything particular meaningful about .au, other than it is slightly less affected by a particular global trend in the industry than other, less restrictive domain spaces. No real surprises there, I would have thought.

And the majority of these are owned by 3 companies. I would assume that this must be the highest percentage in the world. It says a lot about the development of the au namespace.
