Ron Jackson attended the Sedo conference and his write up is at DNJ.
One point brought up by Tim Schumacher (Something we, who have been throwing good money after bad buying these funny lookin squiggles have known for a long time)
Quote:
... the third seminar, "Ripe Domain Investment Opportunities Within the Next Five Years" conduced by Sedo CEO Tim Schumacher. Noting that 70% of Internet users do not speak English, Schumacher views IDNs as a good opportunity. Using stock market
terminology, he also rated major ccTLDs including .us as "buys" along with .info, .mobi and long tail .coms (.com domains that define narrow but very targeted commercial segments). Schumacher said he has downgraded .eu from buy to hold, and also rates .com and .net as holds as recent price increases may temporarily dampen the upside on those old standbys. Schumacher's sell category includes .biz, .cc, .ws and .tv.

Ya don't say Tim?
What pisses me off is these guys don't know the first thing about IDNs and now suddenly a lightbulb has went on and all of a sudden they are realizing what's going on.
They should clean up their backyard before anyone is likely to take them seriously
