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 [0]problem with the US business
model, or the lack thereof. They discuss why they don’t think it’s an
issue in Australia. Simon Hackett, the managing director of
Adelaide-based ISP Internode, had this to say: ‘The [Net neutrality]
problem isn’t about running out of capacity. It’s a business model that’s
about to explode due to stress. … The idea that the entire population
can subsidize a minority with an extremely high download quantity
actually isn’t necessarily the only way to live.’ Of course, this also
explains why we Australians do not have truly unlimited plans.”
