Fred, as far as I can tell the political scene in Australia hasn't advanced
beyond getting the Internet to work *at all*, or deciding which technology
to use to deliver broadband beyond goat-track speeds to the bush, WiMax or
FTTN to some undefined node. Or protect the kiddies from teh pr0ns.

The idea that there might be different *kinds* of Internet traffic --
beyond pr0n and non-pr0n, that is -- is something that our political masters
have yet to comprehend.
