<div>It's really interesting IMO, especially considering it's in Telstra's best interest with its 50% stake in Foxtel to keep content players like Netflix away. Only way to do that is by charging them ridiculous transit fees.</div>

"Australia is the most expensive region in which we operate, but for an<br />
interesting reason. We peer with virtually every ISP in the region except<br />
one: Telstra. Telstra, which controls approximately 50% of the market, and<br />
was traditionally the monopoly telecom provider, charges some of the<br />
highest transit pricing in the world — 20x the benchmark ($200/Mbps)."<br />
<br />
Not quite news, but it's still interesting to see the relative numbers.<br />
