The principal author of this report was Ross Kelso (CIRCIT at RMIT) with John Burke (RMIT) as the principal reviewer. Review input was also provided by Jack Gilding (Backroad Connections). Material contributions were provided by Jack Gilding (Backroad Connections) and Peter Moon (Jerrard & Stuck). Assistance was also given by Mark Dilli (Cisco) and Helena Grunfeld (Uecomm). Sandy Burgoyne (CIRCIT at RMIT) produced the report in Web-ready format and ensured that the hard copy version confirmed to the Style Guide.
Much of the information detailed in this report arose from considered research as well as personal interviews conducted overseas according to the itinerary presented in Appendix 1. Those people interviewed are thanked for their contributions and hospitality.
To the best of the writer’s ability, the descriptions provided of the various high bandwidth initiatives were accurate as at the time of interview or any separate date noted against a particular reference. The views expressed here are those of the author and not the Commonwealth.
I would like to particularly thank Vivienne Teoh as chairperson and all members of the project Steering Group who provided invaluable assistance in the preparation of this report. In alphabetical order, they are:
