Some comments on web filtering in Australia on TWiT 173, but I’m posting this link for this sidenote by Leo Laporte and Jason Calacanis. Starting at about 45:29.
[Jason] “Australia’s weird, I mean it’s a great place, but they don’t have enough bandwidth coming in to begin with. They actually have bandwidth caps there.”
[Leo] “Oh, it’s so awful there. I was there and oh, It was painful.”
[Jason] “Streaming video, nothing, it’s a disaster.”
[Leo] “We have a lot of Australia listeners. We know that they listen and I feel bad because we’re offering richer and richer experiences using video and audio and so forth and they can’t do it. Cause they’ll hit their bandwidth caps.“
On that note, go complete the Australian Broadband Survey 2008 now.

Tried to complete survey the questions just continued to get more dodge and the survey stopped and said it couldnt continue without my modem model number. It just seemed a bit unnecessary maybe im being paranoid.
