I've heard that Telstra are introducing cable access so everyone will get 
fast access to the net. Supposedly this will put most private ISPs out of 
business. Does anyone have any information on this, or where I can find 
info online?

In particular, will this affect ISP hosting services? I'm looking for an 
ISP to host web sites I design and I'm wondering whether this will be 
affected at all (I can't see how but maybe there's some factor I haven't 
considered).

If anyone has any information, I'd greatly appreciate it if they could 
email it to me at:
sevloid@powerup.com.au

Thanks!
