<div>I didn't say broadband prices would halve, I said capacity prices paid by ISPs for international bandwidth would likely halve. This is quite consistent with international experience.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>By my estimates, the cost of international bandwidth accounts for about 10-15% of the total cost of an Internet service. I said it was likely that if this halved, it would either mean a few dollars off end bills or more likely, increased quotas.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The reporter has misunderstood this point and conflated it with end user prices</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I guess it's justice for someone like me to be misquoted hey?</div>
