He's talking about people at Waikato and others who ran Kawaihiko and Tuia Jon Houlker is a name that comes to mind. Rex Croft ran the .nz DNS. Last I heard he was somewhere in Australia. VUW and Waikato were the two places bringing in usenet news into the country. Usenet news feed (and the payment of it) is probably what limited some of the growth of the .nz DNS and kept things manageable for Rex Croft. There's people at vuw and waikato who started the cache farms (I remember a presentation at uniforum in 1995 or earlier about it).
and don't forget Nevil Brownlee and Neil James two other prominent members of Kawaihiko and Tuia who oversaw the early days of the Internet in NZ.
