We all know that we are not supposed to watch. It’s not politically correct to have a sticky beak and take a peek at the misfortune of others. But WE just can’t help ourselves, can we? The Apprentice is a reality-show-train-wreck like no other. Where else can you find a group of 12 ambitious contestants who don’t have an ounce of talent, business acumen, common sense or humility between them? I mean seriously, where did Channel 9 get these people? They are touted as 12 of Australia’s top minds. If that is true, God help us all. The only redeeming feature on the show is Mark Bouris himself. He comes across as very engaging, fair and straight down the line. This is an excellent chance for him to showcase his impressive wealth of knowledge and experience. And he is looking for an apprentice. Can you imagine any of these 12 actually employed as his Head of Business Development, earning a six-figure salary, at Yellow Brick Road? Seriously mate, were not in Kansas anymore! These 12 have as much chance succeeding in that role as you and I have of meeting the Wizard of Oz. There’s nothing like a good train wreck. We all know that we are not supposed to watch.

We need the same type of funding that the road networks get every year spent on broadband infrastructure. I'm not so concerned of government controlled monster companies. No one argues that government monopolizes the road funding. Similarly we could have the infrastructure side of broadband controlled by government. I want to see broadband treated like infrastructure.

But I agree, I'm part of a startup company right now working on exciting content delivery technologies of the future. It's dynamic and much more satisfying then any large company corporate role I've had. We are also looking for investment - all the positive progress we made last year was lost when the economy crash began last Sept '08. Edit: By the way, I believe the position offered is in Yellow Brick Road - Tz was never mentioned which is a shame. I wasn’t aware of that.

Cheers, M. Hi Ryan,

That’s right, but worse it starts shutting down every 2 hours from next March – seems like a stable test platform until then.
