[AusNOG] Telstra + Pacnet - Just thinking

[Ruben Schade]

I'm Australian, but I grew up in Singapore. Pacific Internet was my 
first ISP. Then they moved us to SingTel when they exited the retail ISP 
game. I watched when SingTel Optus (can still remember the "No worries 
SingTel!" headlines in the local paper).

So SingTel owns Optus, but Telstra could own PacNet. That tickled me a 
little.
