In 1987 George founded the first “modern” ISP, being the first to provide a service geared and priced for ordinary consumers.
The ISP was founded in support of his work designing the hardware for a modular digital wireless phone system incorporated into Japan's first digital cellular network in the late 80's and early 90's. This system blended the cellular telephone with modern Internet communications, and was one of the forerunners to today's digital cellular network. George’s role in smartphone development was designing a modular solution providing the hand-held computer terminal and central office mainframe hardware for the smartphone network, and facilitating the integration of Internet technologies.
George has developed a wide range of hardware and software solutions aimed at improving infrastructure quality. He has integrated commercial and open source software solutions to create complete management systems providing visibility into the entire infrastructure; encompassing power, environment, server telemetry, network, provisioning, inventory, human resources and SLA management.
