EDITOR'S NOTE

Good Afternoon,

Senator Stephen Conroy's Internet Filtering juggernaut does not look like it will slow down any time soon.

The largest ISP taking part in the trials, iPrimus, certainly sounds like it will put its trial to some use.

Now that the ball is rolling, Australian Internet users should expect that ISP-level filtering will play some part in our future.

The question now for our industry: fight the trials, or work with the Government to mitigate the damage?

-- Brett Winterford
