Indeed, it'd be like Telstra de-prioritising drug dealers (and other criminals) phone calls, seems to me big business is getting away with this sort of dodgyness in similar ways to how the copyright lobby is squeezing ISPs because very few people understand the technical aspects, the political, and the legal all at once, and be in a position to do something about it. I'd have Mark (or just about anyone on this list really) replace Conroy tomorrow if I could.<br>
