Has iiNet undertaken a feasibility analysis of the various forms of blocking & monitoring and regimes mooted by ALP and LNP governments? If so, what position does iiNet take on each form? Or does iiNet simply take the ideological position that it should not be the responsibility of ISP's to perform this kind of study?

Here here! I think that certain ISP's low-priced "unlimited" bundles (that are really nothing of the sort) are distorting the marketplace of ideas.

Flexible, reasonably priced plans with shaping-after-quota-exhausted + flexible mid-period plan changes + data blocks on demand are the way to go. Sooo many people that I talk to on "unlimited" plans end up only using 200-300GB.

Content producers aren't interested in content reach if it doesn't make them an extra direct sale. They're interested in selling the product as many times as possible. That's why there's all sorts of geo-locked content under license on youtube (i.e: music and some movies).

True about YouTube's success, and yet the paradox is that they're now moving all music videos to a new ad revenue and licensing model.

In addition to whatever Steve might say, please head to /r/NBN if you've got questions about NBN rollout, the FTTN trial, etc.

Thanks Steve for being clear on this!

I've lost count of the times I've had to invoke the laws of physics (and information) to explain why wireless is not now and will never be the way forward.
