[AusNOG] Conroy announcement on filtering

[Nick Brown]

I've been trying to get an answer on this for months and every time I  
ask heads go into the sand..

While I don't anticipate a backlash from RESDSL customers (VISPs or  
direct retail) or even BUSDSL customers (Where the service is  
specifically *not* being used as backhaul - don't forget their are  
alot of regional ISPs that have their Wireless, Dial or even DSL  
customers hanging of low end SHDSL services) I envision that if we  
were to tell transit customers that they can expect their packets to  
be messed with, knives would be thrown - and I wouldn't blame them for  
doing so.

Nick.
