According to AIMIA CEO, John Butterworth, "This project has revealed some fascinating insights into Australian web usage and creates a much needed snapshot of the Australian Internet landscape and longer-term trends. Now, Australians have access to an engaging public record of the cultural, business and government impacts of our online economy." Paul McCarthy, chair of AIMIA Awards Judging and "the creative force behind the Project," according to AIMIA, said that many of Australia's media industries including book, music and film publishing, had long maintained public records charting music sales, television ratings, bestseller lists and box office records that had become important and enduring chronicles of the evolution of these industries, and that a similar chronicle was needed for the Net. "The goal of the History of the Australian Web Project is to provide a similar chronicle of Australia's Internet and for it to become a captivating resource for students, industry commentators and others locally and around the world."
