Australian ISPs Claim Net Neutrality Is an 'American Problem'
9/29/2008

RATLSNAKE writes "The heads of some of the most popular Australian ISPs were all interviewed over at ZDNet about Net Neutrality. For once, they all seem to agree, and they say it's a problem with the US trade model, or the lack thereof. They discuss why they don't think it's an issue in Australia. Simon Hackett, the managing chief of Adelaide-based ISP Internode, had this to say: 'The [Net neutrality] problem isn't about running out of capacity. It's a field model that's about to explode due to stress. ... The idea that the entire populace can subsidize a minority with an extremely high program quantity in fact isn't indubitably the only way to live.' Of course, this also explains why we Australians do not have truly unlimited plans."
