[AusNOG] News: Telstra to clamp down on peer-to-peer

[Joshua D'Alton]

Most traffic is imported so very little difference the local telstra to
telsyra (or any yelstra transot/peering cuatomer). again 80/20.

ot does make morw difference with DC++ but they are a tiny number vs the
milloons who google "ZYX dvdrip download".
