thefickler writes "Australia's largest Internet service provider Telstra BigPond has removed the free open source office suite OpenOffice from its unmetered file download area following the launch of its own, free, hosted, office application, BigPond Office. The removal of OpenOffice was brought to TECH.BLORGE's attention by a reader, who complained to Telstra BigPond's support department about no longer being able to download OpenOffice updates. Bizarrely, the support people were very honest about why OpenOffice was no longer available, ie because it was perceived that OpenOffice would compete with BigPond Office."
