[LINK] An interesting perspective from the ISP/RSP side

"At the APRICOT[*] conference this week it has been interesting to meet 
so many people that operate outside of Australia or NZ that have assumed 
Australia would provide better internet options for end users than NZ. 
This assumption is completely wrong and Australia will be hard pressed 
to catch up to NZ within the next decade.

The reality is that Australia is a great place, compared to NZ, within 
which to run an ISP. But conversely, it does not provide end users with 
anything like the speeds, pricing or contract options that NZ based end 
users have access to."
