Exetel and p2p

Looks like Australian ISP Exetel has caved into the demands of MIPI (the local industry's anti-piracy police) and blocked users who partake a little too much in p2p activity. More in a SMH article here, but not much detail as to how the company identifies such users. Seeing as the rest of the Australian ISPs (and the industry body) aren't too keen on treating their customers in this way, one has to suspect that exodus won't just be the name of a Leon Uris novel. Then again, it's a policy that Exetel say they have been implementing for 2 years so may be a MSM beatup. Whirlpool discussion here.
