Telstra wins AU$39 million for data retention costs as grants revealed

When its abused?

I still haven't seen much about accountability when these metadata archives are hacked and resold for advertising and black market uses - so far what I can see is, it ends with your data gone and lots of shrugging and comments of "ah well, thats life"

Netflix launch brings Australia's biggest ever download deluge

Re: Consistent Growth?

from netflix itself -well...a friend of a friend who is employed at netflix :P

Re: Consistant Growth?

The ISPs would complain is because there is no local netflix cache in Australia, all the data has to be pulled from America every time through satellite and undersea cable raising the costs ISPs have to pay in using these links

According to Netflix, Australia's slowest ISP owns half of Foxtel

the biggest issue with those rates is that they are all dependent on the throughput of our undersea cables and satellite links to the US, those speeds would increase dramatically if each major ISP installed a mirror of netflixs movies on their own network - probably only taking up about half a standard rack :P
