[forwarded from a local mailing list]

According to Electronic Frontiers Australia....
http://www.efa.org.au/

"in a submission to the Department of Arts and Communications
Telstra recommended that the nation have ONE service provider
as a means of regulating access to the Internet."

Source - Internet.au   Apr 1996  p.37

[Telstra is the state-owned telecom company, until recently a
monopoly. I can't find the above information anywhere at the 
EFA site itself; the words are quoted from the _Internet.au_
magazine, which lists EFA as its source. -mitch]
