Some company called "Emerson" (I doubt any relation to our old American radio manufacturer) ran a commercial (on one of our terrestrial broadcast network TV stations) showing a large herd of hopping kangaroos in a reddish desert (Outback), and using them as a metaphor for a broadband network they installed in Australia. Found it on Youtube

The company in the ad (they have a few ads) does service work here on uninterruptible power supplies I think. I don't know much about the company itself but I do remember the logo from somewhere computer related.

Company history.

They actually have maintenance contracts with some of the buildings I work in . Quite a big company at that.

Emerson Radio. This link leads to the company that once made Emerson radios.
