[AusNOG] Conroy announcement on filtering

[Jacques Kosky]

Hi Folks
I noticed that the two dominant topics of conversation on the list are 
internet censorship and peering. This may well be a completely 
stoopid/fooked up idea but I am just going to throw it out there for 
discussion.
Reading the list today I noticed that Bevan Slattery put forward that 
piping (no pun intended) requests though a public proxy would circumvent 
the internet filtering and that Eric Pilkerton pointed out that doing so 
is a massive security risk.

Here is my possibly daft idea. Please don't flame me for it.

 If ISPs are concerned about Conroys daft filtering scheme why not 
combine to throw in some $$ and get some hardware installed somewhere 
outside of Australia (Guam maybe :-) to act as a, presumably secure, 
public proxy and then offer it to customers as a service?
