    THE federal Government's plan to implement content filters at the internet service provider level is one step closer to reality with live trials set to commence after next month.

    The Government will seek expressions of interest in the second half of October for ISPs to participate in live trials, a spokesperson for Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said.

    The test and voluntary participation of ISPs are crucial to uncovering the true cost of the Rudd Labor government's internet filtering program.
