Get ready for an internet revolution

He is proof that brains are better than brawn. Maths whiz John Papandriopoulos, 29, has invented a way to make the internet 100 times faster.

His formula is set to sweep the globe and John is about to start a new life in Silicon valley.

John Papandriopoulos has just hit the geek lottery.

"Really what we've done is a way to enhance the performance of DSL, so DSL is internet access effectively over your telephone line," John said.

Whilst in the shower, the ideas came flowing. The result was a new algorithm that will reduce the electronic noise on every internet connection, greatly increasing the efficient flow of information.

"That means you'll be able to watch your videos much more quickly and further down the line, enable new applications where you might have higher definition video," John added.

His formula can be applied to all 150 million DSL lines around the world. His share of the rights potentially worth millions.

Editor of PC Authority magazine Nick Ross says John will likely need to come up with a new algorithm to keep track of all his money.

"Sky is the limit, I mean, everyone around the world wants to be using fast internet access. Governments are going to want to buy it," Nick said.

First stop in John's new life is a new home and a new job in California, he leaves in a couple of weeks.

"It's a very exciting opportunity to go to into Silicon Valley in California and work for a start-up there, although I'm really going to miss Melbourne and Australia," John said.

John has been headhunted by Jon Cioffi. The Stamford Professor they call the father of broadband internet. He wants John to work for him to take his technology to the next level.

And the experts tell us John's Algorithm could be in worldwide use within two to three years.

YAY!!!!!!

Aussies FTW !
