I'm sure their puppet-masters in government would love to see the demise of every smaller ISP, especially AAISP. That way facilitates their path to total surveillance because they know the large ISPs will eagerly cooperate with any surveillance measures they may be asked to put in place. Ofcom will stick blindly by its 'less than 5% argument' as justification that competition is not being diminished. <br /><br />We all know that the individuals who run useless Ofcom are far from independent and if the government indicates privately to them that they want this unfair penalty retained (as a way of getting rid of those pesky small independent ISPs like AAISP), they will roll over. Call me a conspiracy theorist if you like but I did say that the government would ignore all your submissions when the IPA Act was first published and they did.
