Why does the Government consider demand exists for additional ISP-level filtering services?
While some ISPs provide downloadable PC-level filtering software to their customers, there are currently very few Australian ISPs who provide content filtering at the ISP-level. The aim is to encourage the internet industry to offer a wider range of content filtering options to consumers. User-friendly ISP-level filtering would give Australians greater choice in the content they would like filtered without needing to manage the complexities of downloading software to their home computers.
