[AusNOG] CA Data Retention costs letter to Ministers

[Tom Berryman]

Hang on, the per user implies that each user produces the same revenue per ISP (1 tonne of onion is $4) – users/subscribers is not the right metric.

Unless you want Telstra & TPG to pay for this all? So, good luck…

This morning if you were watching ABCnews24 Breakfast, you would have seen the National Onion Growers Association getting nation-wide TV coverage via an interview with their lobbyist in Canberra. They’re smaller businesses than virtually any small ISP. Their entire industry is smaller than the small-ISP industry. They have a national association with a lobbyist in Canberra, and a couple of days ago they had the PM munching down on their product when he was at one of their sites to promote it. You guys don’t. - mark
Just to put some numbers to this

http://www.onionsaustralia.org.au/about-onions-australia/index.htm
there are ~380 onion growers
They pay $4 per tonne to the org, (production cost of a tonne is ~$361)
gross value of production per annum $181M so they make 501385 tonnes of onions give or take
So they are netting $2M to run their industry body.

How much would you pay per user/some-other-measure for your industry body?
