Hundertmark travels between his hometown of Adelaide and Indonesia where he heads the drug discovery company PT Indo Bio Products and the molecular-biology-based developer, PT Indobio Diversita Guna. He is a former director of News International, a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. He told Rupert Murdoch there was no point in launching Pay TV unless the broadcasts could be protected, and in 1987 Hundertmark backed a small start-up company which developed "Videocrypt" technology. The technology provided a mechanism by which Pay TV broadcasters could restrict their services to subscribers and proved to be of great value to Murdoch's growing media interests.
