Australia Putting ISPs on the Hook for Spam

Posted on by Chief Marketer Staff

Australia has decided Internet service providers should shoulder some of the load fighting spam.

The country’s Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) last week registered the world’s first legislative code of practice for Internet and email service providers.

Service providers must offer spam-filtering options to their subscribers and advise them on how to best deal with and report the nuisance mail. ISPs will also be compelled to impose “reasonable” limits on subscribers’ sending email.

The code — set to go into effect on July 16 — will reportedly affect some 700 Australian ISPs, as well as International ISP such as Yahoo! and MSN Hotmail.

The ACMA could reportedly seek fines of up to AUD$10 million against ISPs that fail to abide by the code.
