Hi,

Sorry to diverge but...

It has been quite obvious that network operators and power users do not
want this interfering with their internet access or networks. Is it
about time we started to write or visit our local members of parliament
and let them know what we think of this filtering instead of just
talking about it amongst ourselves?

If our local members do not know how people feel about this what good is
all this talk going to do?

Steve

Have any type of technical guidelines been released on how providers are
to implement this?

>From the media I've seen on the subject people are discussing web
content, what about email, p2p & IM content .. are we to filter this as
well?

I was a bit disappointed in a way.  One of the sample questions they
had on the briefing sheet was about whether anyone thought Conroy
was doing a good job.

I had a great answer locked and loaded, which was going to rattle off
the ever-growing series of trainwrecks and craters he's produced since
he became minister, and suggest that if Mr. Rudd was half as serious
about Broadband as he claimed before the election then perhaps he should
put a grown-up in charge of the Broadband department.

It was the last question on the run sheet.  Cut for time, I think :-)
