Post on Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy new blog.

Interesting notes from “Tristan”, one of the recent posters:
“62 pages (at the time of writing), and not a supportive comment for the cleanfeed to be found. Comments on this blog were obviously opened to hear the public’s view on topics such as the proposed ISP level filtering. How many more pages of comments expressing their opposition with the policy to the extent that they will abandon voting for labor, will it take before Conroy takes notice?”

Another discussion has headed down a similar path. What did the department think would happen when asking questions about the digital economy on one had and Australia’s approach and on the other, they’re working on crippling the delivery mechanism?

What does the digital economy encompass?

There’s been a bit of this going on lately and you have to wonder if there is a strategy at all….hang on….”strategy”?! I should say “idea at all about any of this”! How backwards have we gone? Does anyone remember NOIE, the NOIE website and the strategies for e-business/e-commerce that NOIE was promoting? (Many years ago now). Did it all just get flushed away and forgotten? It seemed at the time NOIE was on the right track and we now sound like we’re back at the starting blocks trying to figure out what this Internet business thing is?!
