Proposed Usenet Death Penalty for Australia's Largest ISP

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cutting-off-hand-to-spite-face dept.

supine writes "David Ritz has issued a request for discussion on applying a Usenet Death Penalty to Australia's largest ISP, Bigpond (and it's parent company Telstra)." This brought back to memory the time when AOL was facing similar charges.

    Well I can say that this is bad on my part, but it should be done, i'll just go with another ISP (HERE THAT YOU BARSTEDS IM CHANGING BECAUSE OF YOUR CRAPPY SERVICE). This is a great thing to happen, it will make the internet a better place.

    The internet should not be commercial!

    Add up the traffic in his message, it's not costing anyone "lots of money." That's a fiction used to justify these overreaching actions.
