A monopoly?

On what?

On not being Telstra or Optus or Vodafone?

When does the ACCC step in and consider TPG amassing a monopoly? Are we far off?

Also - for a lot of providers this 'could' be good news. TPG are quickly having the reputation of diminishing the brands they purchase through cost cutting measures. ISP's like iiNet were prided on local support etc, this could see a mass of users soon looking for a new ISP with local support, if TPG follow their trends.

For those of you who have been living under a rock (like me) you may have missed the news... TPG has acquired iiNet for 1.4 billion.

Fun times for the industry with one less big player...
