Perhaps old skool, but perhaps we need to get a group of signatures from 
members of the AUSNOG group. It's difficult to get one person/company to 
make enough noise to get noticed.

I suggest a suitable model for how it should be done be drawn up first. 
Leaving it up to the ACCC/Government to decide clearly is a fail.

I'm glad Conroy didn't touch it, he'd probably legislate to send all our 
packets over his (proposed) new submarine cable and remove domestic 
peering altogether.
