Data Collection:

ECUBit is attempting to measure implementation costs incurred by ISPs in meeting the requirements of Commonwealth content management law effective from 1 January, 2000. ECUBit has constructed the following survey to assist in assessing these costs. ECUBit would appreciate your contribution to this research.

The project will run for an estimated minimum 2 years and participating ISPs are invited to submit returns detailing costs incurred in meeting content regulation requirements inclusive of fixed and variable costs.

No name identified data is to be made available. Futher information about the research protocol is available from the project coordinator, David Harte, dharte@echidna.stu.cowan.edu.au

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
