When I was four years old, my family constructed a house. I asked my father how the builders knew what went where. And he told me about the plans and showed me the blueprints. I was enthralled, here was a method to build something. Draw up a master plan, order the lumber, roofing iron, and [...]
The fastest growing and most successful Companies in the World are the proof against an increased attention by anyone to the importance of Copyright and Trademark. For sometime I have been lobbying hard against Australia’s involvement in ACTA. Lobbying Koltai? Is that what you call it? Well yes. I don’t have access in [...]
Sometimes you can read a paragraph and skip right over important words. It is not till later that something in the brain clicks and says “Whoa”!

Located in the Antipodies (Australia), I have for a long time lamented the lack of timely local Television Programming of current US Sci-Fi Television shows. Why? Because Rupert Murdoch cut a deal for content in Australia that was so expensive that no-one else could afford to play. As a result, to lower [...]
In 1994, AS CEO of Australia’s fastest growing ISP, I insisted that we install W3c cache servers at each dial-in pop around Australia. And we cached the “J” server from Palo Alto to our Portland Oregon offices and then replicated that in Sydney. All DNS queries on the Ausnet network stayed in Australia [...]
Or Foxtel Continues Ignoring the Facts A few weeks ago I pointed out that P2P pushback was no doubt partially caused by an over-abundance of adverts in Australian cable TV, To illustrate my hypothesis, I analysed a popular show – “Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles” series currently running on Foxtel.
