Pipe Networks' chief, Bevan Slattery, may have found his "cash-out" door from the company that helped internet service providers snub Telstra, but many of those customers are not happy that a direct competitor could now control it.
Shadow Communications Minister Nick Minchin has called for Communications Minister Stephen Conroy to apologise for his criticism of iiNet's Federal Court defence and warned it might lead to legal action.
Broadband ISP iiNet is considering reselling mobile phone and mobile data services. The company also hopes to replace Optus as the second largest broadband player in Australia, according to Greg Bader, the company's chief technology officer.
Within two months, Internode will tackle customers who have previously sat in ADSL black spots, by offering its new naked service up to seven kilometres from its own exchange network.
Mobile carrier Vodafone has bought the ihug-branded New Zealand business of telco iiNet for AU$36 million.
So how did Twisted Wire suddenly change into a game show, albeit for just one episode? It's engineers vs. marketeers at 20 paces.
How much should Telstra be charging for unconditioned local loop?
The inference that Soul, AAPT and TransACT were Dead Telcos Walking long before their withdrawals were announced makes me wonder whether Terria has always been, God help us all, just as flimsy a proposition as Telstra has made it out to be.

Twitter coverage of the AFACT vs. iiNet trial is breathing new life into court reporting. Why don't we as a society take the next step and stream it all live to the internet, video and audio?
Federal Government plans to introduce ISP-level filtering to provide a 'safer' internet experience for Australian families are likely to be met with significant resistance from within the ISP community.
Voice over IP has reached some major milestones in 2008 in both the enterprise and consumer ends of the market but how long can traditional telcos continue to fight against this disruptive technology?
Australia's IT services market has come through its relatively mild financial crisis relatively unscathed, and certainly in much better shape than it could have ever anticipated.
Competition should drive more affordable products and services unless you're Telstra where "the only way is up" seems to be its motto.
iiNet customers who yearn for a simple networking life will do well out of BoB, although like most routers, it's not without its quirks.
Asus' inexpensive 802.11n router is a bit of a bargain, although it does also bring with it some bargain basement sensibilities.
Asus' high-end wireless router has plenty of throughput grunt, but we do wish the company would offer better support documentation.
