摘要

OzHub, the Macquarle Telecom-led cloud computing alliance, has come down firmly on the side of Optus over the copyright controversy surrounding Optus TV Now, warning that any moves to change the law "risk branding Australia a global luddlte state." OzHub chairman, Matt Healy,said: "The Government cannot afford to be rushed by those demanding immediate action. The potential lost economic opportunity is simply too great" According to Healy, "The Optus TV Now service is basically a digital recorder used to record free to air television program. It just happens to be situated in the 'cloud' - rather than sitting in people's homes."
