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.
Tetsuya Kitahata, self-described international social entrepreneur, and editor of ApacheNews.org has posted online that he is planning to end his life within the next few days, if not today. If you know Kitahata, he needs your help.
UPDATE: Tetsuya Kitahata is alive and well! He has posted now to say he has not gone through with the act, and in part this is because of the response he received from the online community reaching out to him.
Tetsuya Kitahata is the Chief Executive Officer and President of Terra-International, a graduate of the University of Tokyo, an international social entrepreneur, astrologer, and the editor of ApacheNews.org.
Kitahata has posted a shocking message on ApacheNews.Org, which generally posts links and news about the free open source Apache web server which powers more web sites than any other web server.
Kitahata’s message was not ambiguous. He explicitly titled his post, “I will commit suicide.”
Kitahata explains he “was really disappointed by the Apache’s bureaucratism. And I got a lot of fraud. So tired in life” before signing off with “Sayo-nara.”
Kitahata’s last Twitter posting, 22 hours ago, quoted Napoleon Hill and said “Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.”
On face value this tweet would be an encouraging business thought that people learn from their failures and improve.
My hope is that Tetsuya Kitahata can be reached by those who know him, whether members of the Apache Foundation, employees of Terra-International, friends or family and that he may receive help and counselling. Please, if you know Tetsuya, call him.
Similarly, I encourage any readers who may feel suicidal or depressive or self-harming thoughts to speak to those close to them, and to medical practicioners. You may find this page of links to be helpful.
