From Belarus to Australia: Commercial Ready People Power

In the twenty first century People Power has taken a new form...the Flash Protest! It's got nothing to do with inappropriate exposure, but everything to do with uniting around a cause, taking advantage of available technology and sending a message.

James Tuckerman and the spirited team over at Australian Anthill have started agitating around the axing of Commercial Ready.

For the reasons we have set out on this blog we fully support the idea that companies stuck in the Circles of Commercial Ready Hell have just cause in protesting their treatment, and in addressing the new government's lack of consultation on this issue.
