[plug] FW: Adult Websites Ox govt regs being bypassed

[Michael Hunt]

Guys,

I don't know how many other ISP types got this mail message. I think it was
quite interesting to get it a day after the legislation was passed through.

Stiull I suppose some people wil try to make money out of anything (maybe
like Cabletron...)

Take a look at this month's APC mag for some intersting comments on the
issue.

Michael Hunt.

P.S. On the topic of APC there seems to be a lot of Linux content coming
from there pages now. I have alos heard (and read in the pages of this
months issue) that they are planning to release a revised version of the
successful Linux pocketbook with 3 cover CD's and Red Hat 6.0 !!!

Greetings,

I am the owner of a semi-large ISP in the United States (Zipwell Online
“Anything Internet” LLC)  We have been watching intently to the controversy
concerning adult content on the Internet in your country. Now it looks like
your Senate my have succeeded in stripping you of your freedom of speech.
Although Zipwell Online’s primary clients are not porn sites, we certainly
do not believe
that grown-up adults should not have these choices decided for them. We
(Zipwell Online) would like to help in anyway we are able. We have many
high-speed servers on an OC-3 and OC-12 backbone connection. We would be
more than happy to host any site or co-locate any servers that may be deemed
“unacceptable” by the Australian government. We do not expect you to just
give us your clients. We would be more than happy to share any revenue
generated. This will be >easy for us to do, as Bandwidth cost us about ¼ of
what it cost you.

As I do not wish to be intrusive, I will not ramble on. However, this offer
will be mutually beneficial to both of our companies. If your are interested
in discussing our offer, please drop us a line back and we’ll contact you on
>our dime. Feel free to forward this to anyone you wish.

At your service,
