[AusNOG] MS Exchange issues with Telstra

[Eric Pinkerton]

FWIW - From the Telstra 4G network (telstra.wap APN), I can query any DNS server I like.

I would expect that that any ISP who did filter queries to external DNS would be so deluged with support calls they would end up turning it of pretty quickly.

Hi

Not sure on the state of affairs in Aus, do we have common carrier laws or something like net neutrality.  Is it legal for Telstra to limit you to their DNS servers and then potentially filter out what they don't want you to browse to, does that also leave them open to being sued if people get to places they shouldn't ?
