Actually, yes, sort of... the majority of the higher res images on Google Maps, is taken from light aircraft fitted with specialized camera equipment.
The imagery is taken most for surveying, council and real-estate uses, not for applications like Google Maps.
I would bet the Austin imagery is also done this way.
I have a Link Instruments MSO-9212 + Logic Analyzer Pod.
Works well, is fast and accurate.
Software can be a little buggy at times, but the Link customer support is very good.
Oh, i dont think that kinky, watersports, scat and BDSM porn, etc should be blocked at all!
My point was; how is this material which kids should not see, any different to that which the government does want to block?
A child seeing either would do the same amount of 'damage'.
I dont get it...
Its meant to block *very* objectional material (ie, kiddie porn & beastiality), but what about all the other porn & violence our kids should not be looking at on the 'net?
Im sure plenty of parents will get the idea this filter will protect their kids from all non-kiddie-safe material. Thats very far from the truth.
Sure, let kids view thousands of hours of kinky, watersports, scat and BDSM porn, but dont let them see one of those 400 beastiality sites, itll corrupt them forever!!
So they want to put in place a system that will cost tens of millions of $AUD, complicate ISP filters, reduce reliability, increase latency, to just block those ~400 specific URLs.
Sure, more URLs will be added, but how many out there that should be on the list will be missed?

As an example, http://nearmap.com/ offers quite high res imagery.
Its mentioned here they the photos are taken with low flying aircraft: http://www.nearmap.com/products/photomap-coverage
