OzEmail tilts towards iiNet (Australian IT / Michael Sainsbury)
From the article: “IiNet is likely to be the last company remaining in the drawn-out sale process that has been under way since last June, when OzEmail’s owner, MCI, began scouting for a buyer. iiNet is understood to be happy to pay more than rivals SP Telemedia and No2 ISP and telco Optus for the business.“
iiNet has been moving ahead in leaps and bounds recently with the acquisition of many small to medium ISPs in the east cost and their nationwide DSLAM rollout. It would certainly be much better for consumers for the OzEmail users to go to iiNet than it would be if Optus have the winning bid.
