This discussion suggests to me that Telstra's decision has nothing
to do with bandwidth and everything to do with music/movie interest
groups whom Telstra is trying to sweet-talk to increase their
margins on Bigpond Music, etc.<br>

I can hear the sell now: "You should give us an extra 2% wholesale
margin because we're <i>doing something</i> about Internet piracy -
not like those dirty pirates over at iiNet who fought you in court
about P2P."<br>
