This post takes a hard and honest look at whats happening right now. You either “get it” or you are a victim of whats going on. Victims who read this will trash it and deny the reality of what they read. Denial is warm and comfortable. The truth is cold and can hurt. And nobody likes to admit they are wrong, ever. So I expect plenty of haters.

Startling developments in satellite imaging technology have left privacy advocates concerned about 24-hour monitoring over the last 10 years. Commercial satellite imagery, for instance, is effective enough to see a vehicle, but, it is not required to be sufficiently detailed to recognize the make and model.

While regulators demand red tape (see Wage War on Regulator Imposed Red Tape), the business world at best sees it as a necessary evil and at worst as costly handcuffs. One of the comments a colleague made on that blog was that he thought I would be writing about the need to push back at regulators. I had contemplated it, however, given the current environment in Australia, most of the regulated are looking for how best to meet the regulator’s requirements than to push back.
