Conroy to keep pushing mandatory ISP filters

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy told the ICT leaders debate in Canberra that the Australian Labor Party, if
re-elected, would continue its implementation of the unpopular policy.

"We will bring forward the legislation once we've finished the review [of refused classification guidelines]," Conroy said.

No surprises there.

He and the Christian lobby groups go hand in hand on this.

He's probably a member.

I think we either need to see them dump Conroy, or maybe we should
send a message and dump this party.

One hand, you'll be able to download more and faster but porn access may
be filtered.

The other hand, you can download as much porn as you like but it won't
be any faster than it was back in 1999

Im still on 512 / totally unlimited. I cant change to anything else
faster or I face an incredibly steep price hike and ridiculous
download limits, often with uploads counted as downloads.

The fact that in 2010 (thanks to Telstra) we still have download
limits/ shaping (basically the same thing) pisses me off even more
than the relatively low speeds.
When I have a relative in an area outside of a major city in Russia
who gets 8mb (with no limit / no censorship / download as many movies
or songs as you want without hearing endless crap about "piracy") for
$20 US a month, (I wont get started on other things like water/power/
grocery costs that are a fraction of here) we here are an absolute
joke and living in a delusional fantasy land. Actually cable TV is
only $5 a month too for a minimum of 60 channels.

Yep, my Brazilian colleagues are gobsmacked when they come here on business
and stay at one of the top hotels in Perth, with *8* TV channels available.
When I go there, to a relatively remote city in Northern Brazil, I have > 60
channels even at a moderate hotel.

No chance of getting it thru the senate now that the coalition has decided to oppose it.

I'll be voting against him, let's hope everyone else gets the message.
Unfortunately FAR too many vote above the line, so he'll probably get back.

Yes, but what are those channels showing? I'm not really interested in
root of the week, even if it a gardening program?
My last local foray into $/view Tv had me quaking in my boots about the
killer kangaroos roaming the streets (Yes it was a National geographic
program).

OTOH, I'm not going to rush out and repair the TV if it breaks down again.

I don't blame you. Mine sits turned off most of the time these days.

I stayed at a quite reasonably upscale hotel in Sydney last weekend,
they wanted $0.75 per hour for internet access in the room. There was
free wireless access in the bar, but that is hardly conducive to work.

When are Australian hotels going to wake up to the fact that almost
everywhere else in the world, free internet access from your room is
standard.

It is when it's the only 'net that works. Was in Katoomba couple of
months back, the hotel offered WiFi net access (distributed access
points around their place) at $5/hr, but it was knobbled to within an
inch of it's life, every web page was routed through their own screwed
up system, and the company VPN wouldn't work anyway.

So I walked down the road, picked one of the many cafes, bought lunch
while I was there and stayed for the free (working!) net access.

When are Australian hotels going to wake up to the fact that almost
everywhere else in the world, free internet access from your room is
standard.

It's not always the hotels. They frequently supply the connection, but
the 'net vendor is the one who has full control over that anyway.

The problem is while users still insist on buying fucked up over priced
in-room net access, they'll keep providing it. I don't expect that to
change any time soon.
