FSM Telecommunications CorporationTelecommunications Consultant
Nov. 1997 - Jan. 2013Federated States of MicronesiaBack in 1997 I helped launched the first and only Internet Service Provider for this Pacific island’s national telephone company and I helped create one of the first specialty Internet domain name registrars to commercialize Micronesia’s “FM” top-level domain with the broadcast radio industry. In 1996 my friend Robert Blissmer, who was working for the telephone company of the island nation of Micronesia at the time, invited me to make a proposal for connecting them up to the Internet. Robert had been living and working in Micronesia for a number of years at that point and his only contact to the outside world was dialing an access number in Hawaii to Compuserve, and the regular weekly shipments of the New York Times I had been sending him. Late that year I boarded a plane with fifteen large boxes of equipment; enough to set up Micronesia's first ISP. Shortly thereafter www.fm went live and they have been in business ever since providing Micronesia's only Internet service and arguably the single most important telecommunications service there. Later I helped FSM Telecom negotiate the deals that would lead to dot.fm, a company dedicated to commercializing the .fm domain.
