Telcos and internet service providers will now have 18 months to prepare their systems and processes for the scheme, which has been forecast to cost between $188.8 million and $319.1 million to set up, and around $4 per customer per year to maintain.They will be required to store the non-content data of all customers for a two-year period to aid law enforcement agencies in criminal investigations. Telcos and ISPs are not restricted in where they can store the data.The metadata list will include, among other things:names, addresses, birthdates, financial and billing information of internet and phone account holders;traffic data such as numbers called and texted, as well as times and dates of communications;when and where online communications services start and end;a user’s IP address;type and location of communication equipment; andupload and download volumes.
It's a good width! If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.
Sounds awful.It's anti consumer in that they are now demanding third parties to store peoples sensitive information and then making these companies (and thus the consumer) pay for it. Another win for the terrorists?Australia isn't the only country having to deal with this stupid ****, the UK is trying and has brought in all manner of appalling laws aimed at limiting freedoms under the banner of 'fighting terrorism'... luckily we still have the EU forcing us into obeying some freedoms.Didn't they pass a law in the state of Victoria to essentially ban protesting? (I might be wrong about the state) It was something like, you can protest, but if the Police ask you to leave (regardless of your protest being peaceful etc) you have to leave and if you don't can be arrested? http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/12/victorian-anti-protest-laws-passed-amid-outcry-from-public-gallery
I'm less concerned about the data retention in and of itself and more worried about warrantless access and the fact that it's the ISPs who have to do it, they are too tempting a target, and they'll just pass the costs on making net access even more expensive here.Not to mention the fact that with VPNs being so common the specific legislation is about as effective as a wet noodle.
