The digital economy is an important element of today's marketplace. The most obvious step is to untangle the telecommunications infrastructure - Telstra has a tight grip, and advancement to new technologies like FTTN are hampered by this.

The internet must not be filtered at an ISP level in the same way line providers do not filter the telephone arena. It is presently only viable that users protect themselves personally online from questionable content, and the digital economy would be slowed if any other approach were taken.

In summary, keep the digital economy improving by ensuring Australia's tech advancement is not at the whims of Telstra; and protect any unnecessary slowdown or blocking of content by ending the plans for ISP-level filtering.
