radio in Australia to setting up a global rainforest activist network in the

line network of non-government organizations. In 1989 he established
Pegasus Networks offering access to email and Internet services, with a focus
on NGO communications. It grew to employ over 30 people. In the same year he
was a founding director of the Association for Progressive Communications (<a
