[AusNOG] iiNET Network Engineer

[Peter Tiggerdine]

It's created another Telstra accept with a much more hostile player. I
don't see how that's good for our industry. We bullied the goverment to
split TW away from retail (unsuccessfully) and yet we're okay with David
Teoh creating the same between M&A of pipe & iinet?

What's next, TPG buys NextDC and we loose quality datacenters. Evidence
shows that TPG do nothing more than crush innovation and customer service
to squeeze ever last penny. Pipe is a classic example. Sadly it took the
same bloke that led pipe to bring interconnect into the 21st Century.

Better yet, David Teoh buys Origin Energy since it seems selling power is
the new frontier for ISP's.

Maybe Mark Newton is right. We have the IT/ISP landscape we deserve.
