What I find a worry is the email they released about it says the key staff will remain for the aquasition period the takeover but doesnt say if they will remain afterwards. Will there be job losses afterwards?
Lets hope it does work out well, and that it will mean access to more resources, more R&D and even better products.
When my ISP Internode was taken over by Iinet there was some apprehension among users but it soon turned out to be a positive move, Iinet installed their own ports and backhaul at my Wallsend exchange, instantly banishing slowdowns I used to get with the underprovisioned Telstra backhaul. I can even online change my ADSL connection profile, for things like Low Latency or a more agressive speed, as well as Annex M allowing faster uploads.
