Tech Predictions for 2010 from The Australian

As part of the tech report for 2010, The Australian newspaper asked a select team of CTO's and CEO's what their major predictions for 2010 were.

Some highlights:

• Malcolm Thatcher, Mater Health Services: There is great potential for health IT to transform healthcare delivery, E-health can be a big enabler of healthcare efficiencies and transformation of quality and safety -- getting a bigger bang for the buck.
• Tracey Fellows Microsoft Australia: Government investment in broadband is putting technology on the agenda, where it hasn't been, at that level, for a long time. That's creating a bigger buzz about the industry all up, which is good for all of us.
