Net Neutrality: An American Problem – Australian ISPs say America needs to learn from them

In: Communication|Computer|Hardware|Site Feeds|Software|VoIP

29 Sep 2008

The heads of Australia s three major ISPs have caused some controversy by stating that network neutrality is only an American problem (and further suggesting that America s Internet companies may want to take a lesson from Australia if the U.S. net neutrality issue is ever going to be resolved).

“Simon Hackett, the managing director of Adelaide-based ISP Internode, argues that it is ridiculous to suggest bandwidth is “running out” “I don’t subscribe to the view that network capacity is finite at all… Optical fibre basically doesn’t run out of capacity, it’s just a question of how fast you blink the bits at each end.”

Hackett and other Australian ISP leaders go on to say that the U.S. business model offering unlimited plans is the real problem and that the Australian pay-as-you-go model for Internet services is the appropriate way to deal with the issue.
