[AusNOG] iiNet to Acquire Internode

[Joseph Goldman]

  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.

  For those worried about the Internode culture disappearing, according 
to this: http://www.internode.on.net/news/2011/12/259.php 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.

  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.
