This is very old news...
Some big Corporation in Australia is getting Bitten by the looks of that
crap and there is only one Company that could be, Telstra.
I don't blame the US mayjor carriers for charging AU more to access their
backbone as not only are Australians not illeligent but they play very
little in the way the world opperates.therefore traffic is just pointless
high headed "wow that was interesting".also profitless.
Telstra is the one causing this complaint not the little ISP round the
corner.

was on whirlpool
old news, doubtfull that anything will change
the accc should be looking into how tel$tra charges for all traffic.
Things like trying to make us beleive that local and international
traffic cost the same, and they are hard done buy, charging as little as
they do for it.

i doubt it. tel$cum's the company benefitting most from the lack of
peering arrangements between the major carriers.
tel$cum, having the advantage of starting out in the post-monopoly stakes
owning all the national infrastructure, has been able to remain way ahead
of any competition in terms of its available intercity/interstate
bandwidth. refusing to peer with other major carriers gives tel$cum the
advantage that those carriers are then forced to needlessly increase
*their* available bandwidth to deal with the vast ammount of pointless
intercity/interstate traffic generated by lack of local interconnections.
this keeps the competetition on the back foot and ensures that tel$cum
will forever have the monopolistic advantage they're accustomed to.
this means that *we* (internet users) have to pay for the vast ammount of
wasted bandwidth that tel$cum force on us - and is a large part of why
internet access is ridiculously expensive in australia.
however, i noticed recently that connect.com and telstra now appear to be
peering in a few different locations - that's a major step forward, and a
bloody miracle really!
tel$cum, as always, are robbing us blind!
