I meant to ask the question at this point: "Why is an approved network
needed?" What is wrong with just the Internet as the communication
fabric for all these encrypted-XML-over-HTTP Web services? Requiring
"approved network providers" seems like unnecessary overhead and expense
to me, as well as channelling everything though just a one or two
points-of-failure. Hopefully Australia will forego this part.
