[AusNOG] Netflix in AU, break up Go4, or TPG peering breakup?

[Alex Samad - Yieldbroker]

I would have thought there needs to be a government response to this type of industry.  Not particularly to Netflix. I think the original NBN plan addresses that.

The fraudband we are getting doesn’t really.

I'm curious as to why anybody thinks there needs to be a Government response here - not to mention it's all hypothetical so far anyway.

If/when Netflix come to AU, why would their model be any different to elsewhere? Caches for networks that justify them, and building their CDN out to peering points that make sense.

It's what they have done elsewhere, why would anybody think here would be a special or different case?

This is exactly where the mindset needs to change.

If the Government wants a business like Netflix and many others to invest into Australia’s market then there should be incentives to do so.

Or we could just wait until we run out of rocks to dig up WA then freak out.
