Broadband Thought Leadership

Posted by chiefworker on 11 August 2009

I will make a statement now: "Broadband is an industry, in fact it is a super-industry – it will be bigger, more pervasive, than electricity and roads, the last two superindustries."

... thus we wrote in the InfoTech Weekly - way back on 19th November 2001.

We continued ... Yes, for the first time since the advent of civilisation we have an economic  infrastructure that "virtually" extends the human being in real time and demonstrates electricity and road-like characteristics in its potential impact on civilisation.

I will make a statement now: "Broadband is an industry, in fact it is a super-industry – it will be bigger, more pervasive, than electricity and roads, the last two superindustries."

We are proud to have forseen the role of Broadband in human society and feel good that it is now mainstreamed and we continue to contribute to realise the benefits for all New Zealanders.

Good to note that Government, Business and Society have come to see what we saw way back then.

Hope you enjoy the article.
