RackCentral was forced into a corner by Vocus, we had a billing dispute witch was worked for several months to reach an amicable resolution of</div>
<div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">
which we could not. I as the former director bear that responsibility of making the tough choice to place the former company into voluntary administration</div>

This decision was made *before* any stat demand was made on RackCentral for payments and after Vocus had locked us out of the DataCentres.</div>

I have always held Vocus and James Spencely with the highest regard and would actively push business through them. In fact it was I who reached out </div>

to them to provide them the opportunity and introduction to 530 Collins Street to take over the former ASX DataCentre and build their new home in Melbourne. </div>

It is unfortunate that these events have occurred, however I have taken all the necessary legal steps to ensure no phoenix activity has occurred and</div>

<div>We (AS45177) are not providing any ‘safe haven’ to anyone, we are simply providing a transit service to a paying customer and have done so for a couple of months. </div>
<div>The legal dispute does not involve us, it is a matter between the parties concerned, the courts will decide who is in the right and who is in the wrong, we are no judge or jury.</div>
