Sure, but on a more optimistic note; the only real losers are Netflix (I
don't know if they have an Australian branch, but I wouldn't rent from them
anyway after hearing about their throttling) and Blockbuster (the name
synonymous with Late Fees and Mutilated Movies. (I actually do rent from the
local Blockbuster, but in Australia they don't mutilate their movies, and
the local store at least is very good about late-fees.)
