Any one notice that US media companies are coming into the market?

Over the past few weeks I have been bidding on a few select domains, I noticed that a US media company is actually now bidding & Winning a few domains on the drops, usually some high end stock which I was also targeting.

Sure enough it is pushing up the price of domains for AU buyers, but I guess it is all competition.

Any one seen this type of thing before???

Nope, but I'd suppose it's similar to Chinese investment companies buying up Australian real estate, no?

Seen a couple of blogs recently where they (US domainers) are recommending buying .au domains at the drop as they believe they are cheap and a good investment longer term.
