[AusNOG] What are we , collectively, doing about the impending mandatatory censorship scheme?

[Phillip Grasso]

its been pretty clear what Google position all along. Why else do you think
Conroy has it in for Google.

The problem is that not enough 'outcry' from the industry is there, so
Conroy is free to say he's got the support of the industry, with a possibly
few big players in his back pocket due to NBN, he can say things such as
'industry consultation/support' etc.

How many Telco/ISP are there in Australia, and how many would
decree publicly they do not support filtering/censorship?

If we get a big enough list, that will immediately be media worthy, so every
time it is mentioned in the press, we have a hard stat on how many of the
ISP/Telcos actually support this scheme. Yes Conroy will dismiss it, but its
yet another salvo. <insert reputable organisation to represent us>.

Until we get an industry group together, I'm happy to collate that
information, so if your organisation is willing to join the list (at the
moment, its just a list opposing the filter). Please send me a private
message so I can gather the details.
