The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
Ben Self, program director and founding partner of Blue State Digital, and the man hailed by the US media as "Obama's secret political weapon", will visit Australia this week for a series of speaking engagement, sponsored by the Internet Industry Association.
These will include the keynote speaker at the IIA's 14th annual dinner in Sydney on February 12 and the Media '09 Conference on February 13. According to IIA CEO, Peter Coroneos, Obama's online campaign, signals a monumental change. "The future of political campaigning, and indeed politics itself, has been irreversibly transformed by this campaign. We have witnessed a shift in the balance of power back to individuals. It is a shift that no politician, business executive or communication professional can afford to ignore."
IIA said: "Barack Obama retained BSD to manage the online fundraising, constituency-building, issue advocacy, and peer-to-peer online networking aspects of his 2008 Presidential primary campaign. The campaign used BSD’s online and mobile tools to mobilise over three million donors to contribute over $500 million online, to motivate over two million social networking participants and to create and promote more than 200,000 events across the United States."
