[AusNOG] TPG acquires iiNet

[Eric Pinkerton]

I agree, rightly or wrongly I think this will be viewed by the ACCC as stronger competition for Optus/Telstra/Voda rather than less competition overall.

I can’t help but wonder what the general consensus will be amongst loyal iinet customer base? ie what portion of them will see this as likely to impair the reputation for good customer service, or the public stance on privacy etc etc and if such sentiments could result in a significant churn..

I for one will be watching whingepool with interest from my new ISP.

With that many big players still in the market it’s rather unlikely that the ACCC has much to go on here ...

Not if the ACCC says "no".

Correct, but since the iinet board has unanimously accepted TPG's offer, its only a matter of paperwork now, so its as good as done deal.

I think you'll find that this is a proposal and has not actually

happened yet.
