ACCC to monitor ISPs

Mar 30, 2005 Australia, ISPs

ACCC weighs up ISP regulation (ABC News)

From the article: “The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) will monitor the activity of Internet service providers (ISPs) for the next three years as some smaller providers push for greater regulation.

The commission wants to assess how Internet providers connect with each other and whether the current fee system is fair to all providers.

[..]

It noted that “ISPs do not have formal contracts, do not know their traffic flows, and have great difficulty in specifying their revenues and costs”.”

While some of the above line is true, I think it is also a case of the ACCC being interested in data which the ISPs would not normally need in the day to day running of their businesses.
