[AusNOG] iiNet to Acquire Internode

[Grant Moritz]

This was totally a surprise to everyone in the Contact Centre, no one knew
anything about it (Kind of the point as you'd imagine).

Really interested to see how this all plays out in the end, with iiNet
moving our off net TW customers over to their DSLAMs I assume it'll either
mean maintaining different sets of tools for the Chime services vs Agile or
that those customers will be migrated in full to iiNet who will handle
support.

In addition both ISP's do Fetch TV, game servers, national IP networks,
VoIP and mobile data so in some instances I figure it wouldn't make sense
to maintain separate product lines.

There are obviously many people who are going nuts on WP but until I hear
otherwise it'll be business as usual for me personally and nothing is going
to change at this point.


Thanks,

Grant Moritz
