[AusNOG] Telecommunications Sector Security Reforms

[Mark Newton]

Almost none of the companies featured in the AusNOG community have carrier licenses.

Most of the Government’s interference in the sector is targeted at Carriage Service Providers, which are not licensed. 

The State/Taxpayer has never once picked up the bill for a network security incident.

PS, solo round the world sailors don’t cost anything to rescue, because the Navy and Coast Guard rescue crews are training all the time anyway; it just so happens that occasionally a training exercise happens to involve a real person.
