00:01:00 - Officially Sanctioned

Was browsing the wikipedia article on Ray Charles earlier, and came across the snippet that "Georgia on my mind" is the official state song... It gets worse though:

Check out where the official state peanut monument is.

Heh.

08:03:00 - An Internet Code of Practice? TCL stopped adhering when they stopped peering?

TelstraClear Ltd supports the 'New Zealand Internet Code of Practice'. Or at least they did back when they last updated their webpages

They link to it at:
http://www.isocnz.org.nz/code.htm

google reckons it here: www.isocnz.org.nz/icop/icop99the-code.html

In particular I think they stopped supporting it becuase of this:

3.2 INTERCONNECTION
In acknowledgement of the co-operative nature of the Internet, all members of the
 Internet Code of Practice who provide Internet Access services agree to the 
principal of unrestricted and open interconnection between members.
3.3 BLOCKING
Members of the Internet Code of Practice agree that blocking traffic from other 
parts of the Internet disrupts the integrity of the Internet, and should only be 
carried out in circumstances where it cannot be avoided. All other non-urgent 
circumstances such as disputes should be resolved using the Internet Code of 
Practice dispute procedures.
