Telstra wins AU$39 million for data retention costs as grants revealed

Adam 1

makes no sense

If the government really want ISPs to do this, they should do one of two things.

1. Cover the entire cost out of general revenue; or

2. Permit ISPs to charge a specific data retention fee to their customers every month.

The *last* thing you want is for ISPs to try to monetise that datastore in some way to recover costs.
