Vodafone and McDonalds just got away with signing an Undertaking but NO penalty for significant SMS spam, whilst much smaller players were slammed down from between $150,000 to $15.5 mio. Where is the fairness in that? Also, the whole discussion about PSMS barring (and eve nDEFAULT barring) is ridiculous and there is no other country in the world who ever considered to limit consumer decision power in such a radical way. Not even the Taliban would think about this... Congratulations Mr Conroy - internet filterning, PSMS barring - what's next? Don't you think that a free press is also very dangerous for Australia's citizens? What about TV and radio? Sieg Heil! “If the giants can do it, why can’t we ?”
