Australia signs on to global spam fight | |

Government agencies in Australia are teaming up their counterparts in the United States and United Kingdom as part of international efforts against spam. The Australian Communications Authority and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission have signed a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.K. Department of Trade and Industry, the U.K. Information Commissioner and the U.K. Office of Fair Trading to try to reduce the amount of cross-border spam affecting the countries. Bob Horton, acting chairman of the communications authority, said the agreement announced Friday will provide a framework for cooperation on the issue. The amount of unwanted, bulk e-mail messages has ballooned in recent years, clogging in-boxes, taxing servers and keeping tech support staffs on the defensive. "The signing of the (memorandum) will allow us to exchange best practice and policy ideas as well as conduct joint investigations into serious spam violations," he said. | ||
