I was waiting until the change of government before writing a letter.

Perhaps we should all get together and lobby the new government to 
change the status quo.

Speaking from SIS, 80% of our $transit content is sent to domestic G04, 
why should we have to pay to deliver it to them? As long as we can meet 
them at suitable aggregation points content be exchanged for free 
domestically.

It drives innovation and services to be built in Australia instead of 
building applications on 'clouds' over the seas, only for ISP's only 
having to drag it back down again! insane.
