Amcom are profitable & growing company that control their own costs. Amcom are the only credible backhaul & fibre alternative to Telstra in Perth, Adelaide & Darwin.
They are well postioned to capitalise on the booming WA economy & the recently announced $1billion state government tender.
Their network would be an logical extension to either PowerTel, Pipe Networks, Nextgen (Leighton) or Optus/Singtel/UeComm.
But to PowerTel, Amcom also means control of iiNet.
A merged AAPT/PowerTel/iiNet Telco would create a serious player in the Residential, Corporate & wholesale market both in Australia and NZ.
With Pipe Networks PER trading at ~30:1 & PowerTel trading even higher prior to the Telecom NZ takeover bid surely valuing Amcom at $80 mil (PER of <14:1) is far too cheap!
