Another way of measuring success is to see if the Government understands how to have a debate.

In this case the Government sets up a "blog" and then fails to allow responses to its comments.

Unfortunately this will result in people placing their responses wherever they can. It's not going to be pretty.

Conroy states: "Technology is improving all the time. Technology that filters peer-to-peer and BitTorrent traffic does exist and it is anticipated that the effectiveness of this will be tested in the live pilot trial."

I really hope he doesn't believe that bittorrent and p2p are all bad. My company uses bittorrent to do p2p distributed backup. We would be *really* pissed off if he decided it was a universally bad thing. We'd probably just change ports and/or encrypt it and that would get around his filter anyway.
