This would make a great segue into the ISP censoring issue. Let's talk about that; sooner rather than later please. Regulating the internet in that fashion would seriously inhibit our ability to be a real contender in all the scenarios you've outlined above. Our internet needs to be as fast as possible with minimal regulation. The other issue is the limited range of our broadband network. Someone needs to get tough with Telstra and make them roll out cable internet to places other than capital cities. Either that or the government needs to establish it's own, neutral network - although I understand the cost of doing this is prohibitive. Still, this is 2008 and it's getting ridiculous.
