"Winner of Melbourne University's Chancellor's Prize for Excellence, Dr 
John Papandriopoulos could soon find himself the focus of a number of 
networking companies and government agencies interested in wringing more 
performance from existing network infrastructure.

Dr John developed a set of algorithms (US and Aussie patents pending) 
that reduce the impact of cross talk on data streams sharing the same 
physical copper line, taking less than a year to achieve the breakthrough.

It is claimed that the algorithms can produce up to 200x improvement 
over existing copper broadband performance (quoted as being between one 
and 25 mbit/sec), with up to 200 mbit/sec apparently being deliverable. 
If the mathematical theories are within even an order of magnitude of 
the actual gains achieved, Dr John's work is likely to have widespread 
implications for future bandwidth availability across the globe."
