<div>Good to see however other people share my views re what TPG are like</div>

<div>We can see exsamples all over the place. </div>

<div>Pipe used to be a well respected and well endorsed interconnect and it seems everyone's jumped ship<br>

<div dir="ltr">It's created another Telstra accept with a much more hostile player. I don't see how that's good for our industry. We bullied the goverment to split TW away from retail (unsuccessfully) and yet we're okay with David Teoh creating the same between
M&A of pipe & iinet?
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What's next, TPG buys NextDC and we loose quality datacenters. Evidence shows that TPG do nothing more than crush innovation and customer service to squeeze ever last penny. Pipe is a classic example. Sadly it took the same bloke that led pipe to bring
interconnect into the 21st Century. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Better yet, David Teoh buys Origin Energy since it seems selling power is the new frontier for ISP's.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Maybe Mark Newton is right. We have the IT/ISP landscape we deserve.</div>

<div>Would have been the saddest sideways slide into failure as the NBN and backhaul costs ate its margins to zero. TPG has a natural $10 per month cost advantage over iiNet and that's before the off-shore engineering, ops and customer service. Add the massive
fibre network and submarine assets and TPG were always going to win. </div>

</div>
<div>iiNet should have bought AAPT. They couldn't see the value but it's the cement that binds all the TPG value together. They are a price setter not a taker. </div>
