Senator Conroy has released the names of which ISPs will be participating in round one of his live filtering pilot. They are:
- Primus Telecommunications
- Tech 2U (care for a trip back to 1992 anyone?)
- Webshield (already offers filtered service)
- OMNIconnect
- Netforce
- Highway 1
Optus and iiNet are not in this first round and whether they will participate in the 2nd round I expect hangs heavily on the feedback received from this list of ISPs. Too negative and Conroy knows iiNet will roll him. He wants to iron out some of the bugs before he lets his baby into iiNet’s hands.
iiNet CTO Greg Bader told News.com.au he still expects to be involved at a later date.
