!!! InternetNZ ICT Debate
''Thursday 1 September 2005, 7pm - 9pm''
----
__Main Questions:__

http://www.internetnz.co.nz/forum/questions.htm

__Proposed Questions:__

1) Why am I expected to have two pieces of cable to my house for internet competition, but only one set of power lines?
 (Asked)

2) Do you think that the current ComCom decision limiting upstream speeds to 128kps, does not truly reflect both the advances in technology, as well as the reality of most recent broadband applications?

3) Where do small businesses fit into the current plan? There is no way you can do offsite backups feasibly under current environment, nor are SME's able to pay the huge ammounts for full rate plans... What does your party plan to do about this?

4) In terms of legal implications of Digital Media, how does your party intend to ensure that fair use is not compromised under hetrogenious IP regimes such as TRIPS? And will you allow for individuals to retain there current rights in their ability to lend/copy and transcode media (Do you support strong DRM reigmes?)

5) Where does your party stand, in ensuring that OpenDocument formats, such as Oasis, are formally introduced and used both internally and externally in government?
