[AusNOG] census issues tonight

[James Troy]

Hmm perhaps there is a bigger picture here that were all missing, maybe they knew it wasn't going to work but instead of spending/begging/pleading for more money they decided instead to only allow 2/10M census to be completed leaving 8M people who can be fined @ $185/day.

Even 1 day of fines would be $1.5B, that'd pay for a nice system.

Kind Regards,
James Troy

Yes, the government procurement system has provided great value for money, for the attacker(s) (sorry the attempter(s)) / 5-10 million users from the Australian population who dared to follow the governments orders to file their census or be fined :).

They IBM Cloud / SoftLayer use / resell Verizon Digital Media, formerly
Edgecast, which is basic by design.
In that unless you actually pay for the extra features they don't
provision them.
The federal government have a policy now a days of going for the
cheapest quote, so if you quote a job for $2000 and a competitor quotes
$800 the cheaper quote will win.
This works well for some items, but not when planning web based IT
infrastructure that needs to scale.
Regards Chad.
