I'm seeing this as a good thing. It will ramp up competition, and
hopefully shake things up with the introduction of the NBN, and some
competitive wholesale pricing. Assuming of course the iiNet group
will be offering NBN wholesale services.<br>
<br>
For those worried about the Internode culture disappearing,
according to this: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.internode.on.net/news/2011/12/259.php">http://www.internode.on.net/news/2011/12/259.php</a>
and a few other things lurking around whirlpool, Internode and Agile
will continue to run exactly as they are with the same offices and
staff. Simon himself is even staying on to manage these business
units.<br>
<br>
However, we've seen many time again where a business is bought out,
rumored to run the exact same, but eventually gets merged with the
parent product/company.<br>

<div>I've always seen iiNet as more of a bulk provider whereas
Internode has put more effort into customer service and solid
delivery. </div>

<div>That said, when speaking to friends and family I'd generally
end up recommending one of them, and I suppose something like
this was inevitable with the rise of TPG. Probably a good
thing?</div>

I honestly hope ACCC takes a hard look at this.<br>
