When does the ACCC step in and consider TPG amassing a monopoly? Are
we far off?<br class="">
<br class="">
Also - for a lot of providers this 'could' be good news. TPG are
quickly having the reputation of diminishing the brands they
purchase through cost cutting measures. ISP's like iiNet were prided
on local support etc, this could see a mass of users soon looking
for a new ISP with local support, if TPG follow their trends.<br class="">
