[AusNOG] Re RackCentral

[Shaun McGuane]

Ausnog Community,

While i appreciate many people have different opinions on this community list and with respect to those involved i wanted to release the following;

RackCentral was forced into a corner by Vocus, we had a billing dispute witch was worked for several months to reach an amicable resolution of
which we could not. I as the former director bear that responsibility of making the tough choice to place the former company into voluntary administration

This decision was made *before* any stat demand was made on RackCentral for payments and after Vocus had locked us out of the DataCentres.

I have always held Vocus and James Spencely with the highest regard and would actively push business through them. In fact it was I who reached out
to them to provide them the opportunity and introduction to 530 Collins Street to take over the former ASX DataCentre and build their new home in Melbourne.

It is unfortunate that these events have occurred, however I have taken all the necessary legal steps to ensure no phoenix activity has occurred and
of which we were protected in making these recent changes. I know my credibility has taken a hit, and bear that responsibility as a fellow techie and
a business owner.

I respect everyone has different opinions on this issue and encourage people who are not directly involved to remain neutral as this does not involve them.

Kind Regards
Shaun McGuane

I agree with this.

What is missing in our industry is something like http://www.tica.com.au/ for ISPs.  I've known a lot of dodgy providers who just move to another supplier of services.  It would be great if there was some sort of industry reporting agency for customer - personal and business.

>Rack Central stopped paying Vocus and in return AS7600 ( escape.net<http://escape.net> ) AS45177 ( Layer2.co.nz<http://Layer2.co.nz> ) and AS38790 (Spirit Telecom Australia) not to mention IX Australia all provide safe haven to allow them to continue to operate.

We (AS45177) are not providing any ‘safe haven’ to anyone, we are simply providing a transit service to a paying customer and have done so for a couple of months.
The legal dispute does not involve us, it is a matter between the parties concerned, the courts will decide who is in the right and who is in the wrong, we are no judge or jury.

Many Thanks
Barry Murphy
