Conroy will ruin the internet for Australia

I was just reading some excellent information by @MikeFitzAU about the “clean feed” planned by Senator Conroy here in Australia. I’ve been watching with growing concern as this policy takes on an extremely emotional and disturbing ability to sweep all rational arguments before it and now I think it’s time for me to add my voice… and I hope others do to.

Ditch the Yellow Pages - Go Internet Marketing!

Marketing in 2009

Here are some facts that you’ve probably noticed or heard but lets put it all together…

  • The Yellow Pages is slimming down, basically businesses know the Yellow Pages just doesn’t work like it used to. Anyone with access to a computer uses their computer.
  • In December 2008 - 8 million households in Australia (that’s 75%) had internet access. So I reckon that’s at least 75% less people using the yellow pages compared to pre-internet life… and this trend is continuing. Besides as the Yellow Pages hasn’t shrunk by 75% yet you’re less and less likely to even get called as the ratio of readers to advertisers gets worse and worse.
  • Also, in 2006/07 87% of Australian Businesses had internet access. So it’s not just at home that people use the web.
  • Also in 2006/07 40% of Australian Business placed orders online.
