92a suspended

Seems that all the outcry by the internet user and developer community reached the government and the section 92a amendment has been suspended.

Prime Minister John Key said the law change would be delayed till March 27 to give more time for the recording and internet industries to reach an agreement setting out how ISPs would apply the clause. If no agreement was reached, section 92a might be "suspended" and the act re-written.

Let's see where this goes, there needs to be a disengagement between rights management and internet access as opposing sides.
