<div class="moz-cite-prefix">We tossed around doing this and putting
it in the bill as line item that says "Data retention levy". In
the end unless the entire industry does it. People will use it as
another commercial point of difference. That is customer will go
to somewhere the doesn't charge it. We submitted our DRIP a
couple of weeks back and one of the things I included as some
information about the costs to us in implementing the legislation.
Oddly we can meet most of the legislation's requirements now if we
had the funding within the current budget to acquire the hardware
and software required to replace some older systems. <br>
<br>
This was outlined extensively within our DRIP which as a way to
highlight the impact on our business but to also as justification
in the two year delay. <br>

<div>Hey All</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know when Andrew Yager ran the Data Retention workshop
in Sydney recently towards the end and this was only touched
on briefly about putting a Data Retention type of charge on
end users accounts to help cover the out of pocket costs
that we all face. I haven’t seen any further information
about this out in the media so I am just seeing what the
feeling is amongst the industry and if anyone has any ideas
about how to calculate charges etc.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I feel that some kind of charges has to be past on to
users as the out of pocket expense to the industry is too
high for us to wear and needs to be recovered but it would
be nice for the industry as a whole to approach the together
rather than some pass it on and others wear it.</div>
