Spent most of the day in Leura, in the Blue Mountains outside of Sydney, at the Network Insight Conference today. This is an annual event that is put on by Mark Armstrong and brings together leading technology and media executives in Australia to discuss: The Networked Home, Mobile Entertainment, Telco Legislative Environment, OnLine Advertising etc....... This year the presentations are really superior!

I caught most of the afternoon sessions today. Of particular note today were the presentations by David Cassidy who is in charge of Convergent Media at PBL and Mike Walsh who runs Group Strategy for News Corp for Asia Pacific - both communicating a real depth of strategic view on what is happening globally.

Later on in the Telco session it became even more evident that Australia is seriously lagging in its attitude to broadband roll out in the world market.
