Amcom Telecommunications has put itself into a trading halt on the Australian Stock Exchange pending an announcement to be made on a proposed transaction.
Telstra's legal challenge to the prices set by the Australian competition watchdog of access to its copper network was last Friday rejected in the Federal Court.
Despite a recent upbeat profit guidance, Western Australian ISP iiNet last week let go of a number of staff; but it won't divulge numbers.
Exetel CEO John Linton said today that iiNet brought the federal court action upon itself by not forwarding Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT) complaints to its customers.
