Paul McConnell’s Summary

Paul experienced the power of the Internet in the 1980’s – first at University and then in several of his early jobs. Always a strong advocate of the technology, he was well positioned in 1993 to take advantage of Internet commercialisation as the WWW rapidly evolved. Then again in 2004 he was positioned to enjoy the telecommunication shake-up with the emergence of IP Telephony. As a business owner, Paul is proud of the role that he has played in helping establishing the Internet in Australia.
