No

Pretty sure big tech means line their pockets by that much.

Glad to see it's also for domestic use. We've got a whole lot of open unused land and solar energy is a great passive use for it.

hopefully open source nerds will save us

Aaand here it comes. Mandatory gov-verified ID required for any and all online activities.

I've known since the 90's that it was inevitable. And of course not every country will immediately go for it, but eventually they will all follow suit.

Probably the same reason the plan for FTTP got turned in to MTM.... Liberals.

Cheers 👍

Ah the good old days when Internode was still around: https://web.archive.org/web/20150228042943/https://hotspot.internode.on.net/

Then iinet bought them then TPG :(

In terms of provider Aussie Broadband if you're most in favour of supporting Australians (they have an Aussie call centre), it's more expensive so they have Buddy as their cheaper brand

Superloop and Leaptel are also pretty good

Haven't used it in 4 years or so. It's probably a lot better these days since 90% of its users have moved onto starlink, so not as much congestion.

Won't fix the latency though. And I'm sure they still have the pitiful quotas and rate limiting.

they were told to look into LEO sats as soon as starlink arrived but they decided not to for reasons unknown

Used to. Was terrible but that was 7 years ago, not sure if it's improved since then

Interesting! Thanks for sharing your experience with them.

I used to, pre-22 floods.

It was slow, high latency with poor support.

Ended up shelling out $3000 for a roof mounted antenna with a mobile signal booster pointed at a tower 30km away.

Which was way better until they shutoff 3G and didnt bother to replace it with anything. The 4G signal is much noisier and hugely congested.

The skymuster gear is gathering dust.

Fwiw the government paper is linked elsewhere in the EFF article,

Woops, sorry missed that. Thankyou :)

Fwiw the government paper is linked elsewhere in the EFF article, but regardless it is odd that even after playing source-centipede, nobody actually had a link back to Apple's actual response. Thanks for tracking it down!

A little annoying to track down the sources.

The EFF article links to a Neowin article that then links to a Guardian article which then links to the Gov's proposal paper; but only vaguely mention's Apple's reply submission that you have to find yourself.

Only briefly glanced at Apple's reply (sorry), yeah it's what you'd expect. Take away our power and our business can't protect you from bad people that don't pay us.
