Aussie ISPs refuse to join government's filtering test

The Australian government's plan to censor the entire Internet hit another major snag this week after two of the country's largest ISPs, Telstra and InterNode, announced they would not participate in the government's proposed filtering tests. Many of the ISPs in Australia, in fact, are either refusing to join the test, joining it only to prove it won't work (iiNet), or only testing a scaled-down version of what's intended to be the final model (Optus).
