KRudd's broadband plan

Hi everybody,

In yesterday's news was an article about PM Rudd announcing that the federal government is going to create it's own national broadband communitcations network. My question is - will this also allow the government to implement it's network filtering? Are we destined to be forced into a position whereby our internet connections are going to have a filter applied whether we like it or not?

What are the chances?

Something to think about.

Cheers,
Wayne :D

I thought they decided not to have the filtering crap? by filtering you mean the censoring shit where u cant access porn sites right? they better damn not....i remember a couple of years ago i was on holidays in China couldn't even watch YouTube clips cause they had to filter shit...fucking commies!

it came back, one of the key promises for kruddy's election was a net filter. the difference is he promised an optional filter, but they are planning on a 2 level filter, mandatory which can block some nasty stuff along with anything they dont like (miscategorised, abortion, euthenasia, etc) as well as the adult filter

fun huh?

From what I read it was goint to take 8 years to impliment and be 10 times faster than now. In 8 years time that will be slow and no one wil use it anyway.

how can they predict it will be 10 times faster in 8 years ? do they have a special tool to work that out ? or is the special tool some computer "expert" ?
Plus the way that technology moves i would expect it to be at least 50x faster than now!

What they are saying is that it will be faster than it is now.... You know... Like the train from Geelong to Melbourne.

You can trust everything Government does, they wouldn't sensor you or remove any of your Freedom's.
Just ask around on this site for instance :roll:
