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.

    I doubt that this will be resolved by telstra if threatened with action; action will have to be taken.

    Telstra have been losing money for a while now due to shoddy work in all of their services. Consumers just wont stand for it any longer, and this is strongly reflected by their dropping share price.
    I believe they are losing money at such a rate that they refuse to outlay any on ressurecting this current spam problem - that, or they really are ignorant of the problem (due to incompitance).
