Thomas, Good Morning, Ahhh! that Bill Gates guy...here was the article at Casinowire, an appropriate title:

"The Big Elephants Behind the Scenes
Tue Feb 16 1999

The Australian effort to regulate
online gambling instead of prohibit it
can have far greater effects on the
industry than anyone expects.
Australia's richest man, billionaire
media magnate Kerry Packer, hopes
to offer Web gambling in
cooperation with software giant
Microsoft! Big American companies,
such as Harrah's and Park Place
Entertainment, are also emerging as
current and potential partners in
precedent-setting ventures that aim to
dominate the global market for
cyber-wagering. American-backed
ventures have access to financial
resources far beyond the means of
the scores of five-and-dime gambling
sites now online.
Read the comprehensive story on
MSNBC."

Glad Starnet not is not just a "five-and-dime"...didn't Starnet setup a subsidiary down under??? Haven't heard much on it from Mr. Dohlen, or did I just miss it???

Later...Gator
