There’s already been some highly visible protests about proposals to try and filter Australia’s Internet feed, but a new survey from Netspace clarifies that opposition to this poorly-thought-out scheme is widespread. Phil Sweeney at Whirlpool reports that almost 80% of customers surveyed by ISP Netspace were opposed to the scheme, and only around a quarter said they would sign up to a clean feed if it was available, whether compulsory or otherwise. While there’s been some speculation that the government will cancel the plans after the trial (using the inevitable performance degradation as an excuse), that’s far from a certainty.
