Err .. I wouldn't say this is definitive, but my understanding of the
situation is that it is Telstra who charge everyone (re-sellers included) on
a per-Mb rate for inbound traffic to their ADSL network regardless of
source. Note also that Tesltra are not on WAIX nor are they ever likely to
be.

I also believe that Telstra have no plans to change their billing schema or
even differentiate traffic sources for separate billing by the re-sellers.

So iiNet get charged Xc/Mb and you wouldn't expect them to not on-charge,
would you? I'm all for getting the best price, but not even I expect things
for free.

Of course, I could be wrong and this is all just speculation.
