Legislative code to come into force.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is poised to introduce a legislative code of practice for ISPs that could see hefty fines being dished out to service providers that fail to comply.
Under the new code, ISPs must offer spam-filtering options to subscribers and provide a system of handling complaints. They are also required to impose limits on the rate at which their subscribers can send email. A spokesman for the ACMA said it could seek penalties in the Federal Court of up to AU$10 million for a breach of an industry code. The code will come into effect on 16 July.
