I guess that aasx.com (AustralAsian Stock EXchange) aase.com (AustralAsian Stock Exchange) are also possible, if not quite likely.

Subject: [sharechat] Cyber-Squatting the NZSE & ASX

I see someone is betting on the merger between the NZSE and the ASX by taking the form of a cyber-squatter. Both www.anzsx.com and www.anzse.com are taken by a Mr Hussain, resident in America.

His bet is based on the combined exchanges being named the "Australia New Zealand Stock Exchange", however I can see the ASX wanting to retain its acronym (and website address - www.asx.com ) by pushing the "Australasian Stock eXchange." And all this relies on the exchanges actually merging. 

The domain name www.asx.co.nz was registered just two days ago by a resident in Australia from an Australian domiciled company.

There was a further article on the merger today:
