I have played a leading role in the Internet industry in South Africa since 1997 and was an effective agitator for telecommunications liberalisation in Africa. I have written and presented many papers at local and international conferences on the Internet, Spectrum, telecommunications, regulations, TVWS, VoIP and Bridging the Digital Divide. I am now an ICT consultant through my company, William Stucke Associates, consulting on Internet, telecoms, wireless communications, spectrum management, regulation, TVWS, project management, cost modelling, network design and sales strategy development. I am interested in opportunities to work as a consultant and trainer, researcher and technical editor, and am also available as a conference speaker.I play an active role in many industry organisations and was instrumental in the creation of ISOC-ZA, the South African Chapter of the Internet Society; AfrISPA, the African Association of ISP Associations; and NameSpace-ZA, the predecessor of zaDNA, and have chaired both ISOC-ZA and AfrISPA.I spent five years as a Councillor with the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA), influencing policy and legislation affecting the telecoms industry and the Internet. I also improved ICASA’s methods of working, instilled a sense of responsibility and accountability, and trained the staff to increase skills levels.A serial entrepreneur, I have founded and managed three small ISPs and understand all technical issues relating to the Internet. In my spare time I teach computing to schoolchildren twice a week.Prior to that, I automated two underground diamond mines and contributed significantly to De Beers’ biggest research project, the Fully Automated SortHouse.
